A long, wooden object with a smooth handle and a curved, reddish-brown leather strap at one end is centered in the image. The color palette consists of earthy tones, with the warm brown and reddish hues of the object standing out against a light cream background. The object is positioned diagonally, with the handle extending from the bottom left towards the top right of the image frame.
