Two intricately designed toy pistols are positioned diagonally and overlapping slightly in the center of a plain background. The color palette includes shades of brown, with some faded red and blue tones on the pistols, against an off-white background. The pistols are facing opposite directions, with their barrels pointing outward, and the handles crossing at the center of the image.
