The image depicts a traditional Japanese-style artwork on a beige background. The artwork features a wooden stand on the left side with a small pine tree on top. To the right of the stand is a ceremonial crown with long hangings. The crown is black with a long, curved tail on the back, and there are two sticks placed across it. The hangings are composed of colorful beads and tassels in shades of orange, yellow, white, and brown. The hangings are long and flowing, extending down and to the left across the bottom of the image. There are Japanese characters written in black ink on the top left side of the image. A small white rectangle at the bottom center contains the number 2190. The artwork is framed by a thin brown border.
