The main image features a small, white and pinkish axolotl perched directly on top of the head of a classical marble bust of Aristotle. The background is a vibrant red with Christmas graphics, including a green Christmas tree with a star, a sprig of holly, and a pair of golden bells. This is an example of the "Axolotl on an Aristotle" rhyme joke.
