A pencil drawing on a whitish grey coloured bookmark. The front-side of the bookmark is a horizontally oriented, hand-drawn image of a whale in profile. The whale is drawn in three level segments: the head, body, and tail. The head of the whale is rectangular in shape; the eye patch is a rectangular-shape drawn above the whale's open mouth. Where the head and body join, is a dip in the pencil outline along the back of the whale; extending outwards from the dip is the whale's dorsal fin embellished with one flattened crescent-shape. Extending from the eye patch is a line with a U-shaped dip that continues to the tail of the whale. The pectoral fin is square-shaped near the joint and rounded near the tail; a single vertical crescent-shape decorates the fin.
