The image shows a large woven horse collar or padded harness with a red textile adorned with patterns, beige leather straps, and a handle. The color palette includes red, beige, and hints of gold within the pattern. The harness is positioned in the center, with the red textile framing the top and sides, and the leather handle arching across the top edge, balanced by the straps and loops hanging down.
