The image shows a dark brown leather saddle with a predominantly brown color and some lighter brown and tan patches. The saddle has a curved back and a more ornate front, with a repeating pattern of dots and lines. The saddle appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and wear. It rests on a white cloth and a gray base with black text that reads "FRONT". The saddle by Kura.
