The image displays two large intricately designed metal objects resembling ornate stirrups. They are set against a plain background. The color palette consists of earthy brown tones with accents of pale blue and white, and hints of metallic sheen. The objects are centered on the canvas with one positioned slightly lower and to the left, showing a visible decorative emblem on its surface. The other leans slightly to the right, showcasing a simpler design. The signature "A. Zyl" is visible towards the lower right corner.
