The board is rectangular, vertically oriented. The hardware is arranged in eight horizontal rows, most with eight pieces, some with seven. The hardware is primarily made of metal and screwed into the board. Shapes include floral, curved, circular, and linear designs. Some pieces feature intricate details and patterns, while others are more minimalist. The background is a light-colored wood grain. A small plaque is at the bottom right.
