A blue and black cord loop is attached to the top. The object depicts a mountain landscape scene. A winding river with wavy lines flows through the scene. On one side, a tree with a curved trunk and branches is on the left. A rocky area is on the right. On the other side, a building with a tiled roof and a deck is on the left. A tree with a straight trunk and branches is on the right. A mountain range is behind the building and tree. A full moon is in the sky.
