The image depicts a green Ojime by an unknown artist. The green object is spherical and made of a shiny material, possibly stone or glass. It features a marbled pattern in various shades of green. A small hole is visible at the top, through which a white cord is threaded. The cord extends from the top of the sphere to the right side of the image, where it is tied in a knot. The background of the image is a plain gray surface.
