Two cylindrical objects, side by side, made of a shiny bronze-colored material. The object on the left has a swirling wave design in darker bronze color. The wave starts from the bottom left and swirls to the top left in a circular motion. The object on the right features a dragon design in lighter bronze color. The dragon's head is at the top right, with a curled body extending to the left. The dragon has a long snout, and its mouth is open. Horizontal lines run across both objects. The background behind the objects is white.
