This is a painting of an arrangement of metalwork plaques and a tool on a cream background. The painting features two rectangular metal plaques and a pointed tool displayed against a plain, neutral background. The upper plaque has a central design with stylized geometric patterns and symbols, surrounded by a border. The lower plaque also contains geometric designs, forming symmetric shapes, and is enclosed in curved motifs. The tool, with a flat, rectangular head and a long, slender handle, is positioned horizontally between the plaques.
