The artwork, titled "Beads" by an unidentified artist, features a black and white image. A dark area resembling a cross or an 'X' shape dominates the composition, with a thicker, tapered form on the right side. This dark shape overlaps a spherical object on the left, which appears lighter in color. A smaller, darker sphere is positioned beneath and to the right of the lighter sphere. A line extends from the bottom of the dark shape and curves loosely towards the bottom left corner of the artwork. The background of the image is predominantly white.
