The image shows three objects that are part of a sheath and belt set. The largest object is a rectangular sheath decorated with circular designs and blue floral patterns. Next, there is a smaller elongated piece resembling a belt or strap, also adorned with similar floral motifs. The color palette includes earthy browns with highlights of white and blue detailing. The largest sheath is positioned horizontally in the center, with a belt-like object directly below it and another smaller object set horizontally at the top of the image.
