The bomb’s tail fins rise behind her head at the upper left, and the word “NO” is stenciled in red across her forehead. She wears a flared skirt, with her legs cut off at the lower edge. The image is set against the bare brown cardboard ground with soft overspray around the edges. A printed sticker at the left reads “STOP THE WAR Demonstrate Saturday 15 Feb 2003,” and a small round sticker reading “DON’T ATTACK IRAQ” is applied at the right.
