The image displays two wooden objects. One is laying horizontally and the other is positioned diagonally underneath it. The horizontal piece has a rectangular shape with rounded ends and a small carved notch near the center. The vertical piece is cylindrical with a slightly tapered appearance. Both objects have natural wood hues, primarily light brown tones with subtle variations indicating the wood grain. The horizontal wooden piece overlaps the cylindrical piece, which protrudes from underneath at a downward angle to the left. The background is light beige.
