The image shows a large, transparent, spherical glass globe mounted within an ornate, metal frame. The frame has a square top and bottom connected by four vertical rods at each corner. The color palette includes muted tones of green and rust on the frame, while the glass is clear. The globe is positioned centrally within the frame, with the top and bottom edges of the frame aligning evenly with the sphere's upper and lower positions. An engraving or signature, "ROSE CAMPBELL GERKE," is visible in the lower right corner.
