It is covered with a variety of small to medium-sized metal drawer pulls and handles. The hardware is arranged in rows and columns. The hardware is made of metal and has various shapes, including ovals, circles, and fleur-de-lis, and various designs, such as ornate, plain, and decorative. Some of the hardware has a ornate or decorative design, while others are simpler. There are approximately 50-60 pieces of hardware on the board. The board is rectangular, with a small black plaque at the bottom-right corner. The photograph is in black and white. The background of the image is white, suggesting that the photo was taken against a plain backdrop or edited to have a white border.
