We briefed this as a Sohrai forest band built on a single charged moment: the sloth bear reaching for the wild comb. The plateau forest gives honey in Sohrai season, and rather than a calm row of animals we let one creature carry the panel — the red bear rearing at right, both paws up toward an ochre honeycomb, bees scattered in manganese line across the dark ground. The dark earth-brown ground is the deliberate choice here; it reads as deep forest shade and makes the ochre comb glow as the obvious prize. A spotted deer and two birds keep the lower and upper field company without stealing the bear's reach.
