One of a Pair of Boxes in the Shape of Ducks
The object is a box shaped like a duck. The box is viewed from the side with its head to the left. The body is smooth and rounded with a slight upturn at the back. The duck's feathers are made of shiny, scale-like pieces that cover the body. The scales are shades of brown, gold, and silver. The beak is a light tan color and is short and broad. The eye is small and circular with a black pupil and a white iris with black lines around it. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
