The image shows two large metal tools with curved blades attached to handles. The tool on the left has a more exaggerated curve than the one on the right. The color palette is muted with shades of gray against a light beige background. The tools are centrally positioned, with the left tool higher and rotated counterclockwise, and the right tool more upright but tilted to the left.
