Plate glass house predominately painted yellow with streaks of other colors. Each side of house includes a hand-drawn element: a pencil outline of a bird, the word "FIVE", a pencil-drawn curvilinear form (perhaps part of a snake), and reddish-brown form outlined in pencil (perhaps an elongated, distorted leg). Small fragments of colored glass and twisted glass canes adhered to exterior walls.
