The image shows two large ornate knife handles. One handle has a blue and white pattern, while the other is solid brown with subtle curvatures and contours. The color palette includes blue, white, various shades of brown, and an off-white background. The handles are angled toward each other, with the top parts slightly closer than the lower sections and connected at a point or hinge in design. In the bottom right corner, there is a small cursive inscription in dark ink.
