Printed text on reverse (from Ivan Krylov’s fable): “While scratching in a dung heap, the Rooster found a pearl and said: ‘What’s this? What use is it to me? What a worthless thing! How foolish are those who prize it so highly! For me, I’d rather have a barley grain — it’s not as shiny, but at least it’s food!’ Moral: The ignorant judge everything they don’t understand as worthless.” Moral: “The ignorant judge exactly so — if they can’t understand the value of something, they call it useless.” Theme / Meaning: The fable “The Rooster and the Pearl Grain” by Ivan Krylov teaches the contrast between superficial judgment and true worth. The artwork stylizes folk motifs in warm, ornamental linework, typical of Soviet decorative art of the late 1960s. The rooster, proud yet naive, symbolizes people who fail to appreciate genuine value — preferring the obvious and practical to the rare and precious.
