The body of the serpent is decorated with symbolic pictograms, which tell the story of this fairy tale, and includes the name of the fairy tale “Eglė – žalčių karalienė” (Eglė – Queen of Serpents). The composition also features tree silhouettes as an allusion to the children that were turned into trees.
