101 O Garolau A Caneuon Nadolig

Inside the image.

A square cover on a pale, almost white background. Across the centre stands a row of large, freestanding cut-out forms that together read as “100”: a narrow, irregular “1” at left, a broad dark “0” in the middle and a second, taller “0” at right. Their edges are uneven and the surfaces are filled with small, colourful illustrated scenes. The middle zero is the largest and most prominent; its open centre shows the plain background through it. The forms rest on a thin greyish ground line, with a faint shadow beneath them.

The left-hand “1” is assembled from angular pieces. Its upper section has a blue-grey ground with scattered dark bird-like marks and a strip of multicoloured pattern along the far-left edge. A small rectangular panel below shows a brown bird perched against a pale yellow field. Near the base, a narrow strip contains tiny birds and other motifs. A long, low rectangular piece in front of the numeral shows a branching plant with leaves on a cream ground, bordered by dark red, blue and striped details.

The central zero is a deep blue-black ring decorated with dense, swirling motifs in turquoise, blue, and muted ochre. A stylised face in profile appears in the upper-left portion of the ring, surrounded by curling lines; other areas contain irregular floral or abstract shapes. Its inner opening is an upright oval, mostly white, with a slight grey edge.

The right-hand zero is made from differently shaped sections. Its upper portion is a tall, sloping panel with a dark blue and purple sky-like field, tiny scattered marks and a warm-coloured form near its lower-left edge. Beneath it, a pale pink architectural-looking panel contains a small arched opening and several tiny window-like shapes. A low rectangular piece sits across the front at the bottom right, divided into orange, ochre, pink and brown blocks, with a small blue-green diamond motif and a red triangular form. The pieces have a handmade, cut-and-layered appearance, with some edges and patterned strips visible behind the main shapes.

The title occupies the lower third. Large red serif capitals read “O GAROLAU” on one line, centred and widely spaced. Directly below, smaller green serif capitals read “A CHANEUON Y NADOLIG”. Two short lines of much smaller black text sit beneath: “YN CAEL EU CANU GAN” and “GANTORION, CORAU”; the final line reads “A PHARTÏON AMLYCAF CYMRU”. The typography is clean and sharply set against the pale background, contrasting with the richly decorated, irregular numerals above.
