The image shows a bamboo stalk with insects and a leaf. The stalk is light tan, cylindrical and cut flat at the top. It has darker brown spots and lines around it. There are three insects carved into the stalk. The insects appear to be beetles with spiky backs. The top insect is near the top of the stalk, the middle one is centered, and the bottom one is near the bottom. A green leaf is attached to the bottom-right side of the stalk. The leaf is long and thin with a serrated edge. Two thin, gold bands wrap around the stalk near the bottom. The background is solid gray. The artwork is "Bamboo stalk with insects" by an unknown artist.
