The image depicts a still life of various objects. The objects are arranged on a red cloth with irregular edges. The objects include a fan with a red and green semicircular design, a yellow scroll with a pine tree pattern and red circular designs, a white vase, a brown sword with a gold scabbard, and a cylindrical container with a red and white design. There are also some berries with green leaves and a lime wedge. The background is beige with some Japanese writing in black ink. The image has a small drawing of a hanging object in the upper right corner. The image appears to be a Japanese artwork by Ryūryūkyo Shinsai, titled "Brushes and Paper Ornaments".
