The image displays a brown leather bucket-style case with a strap and a red leather shoulder strap beside it. The color palette consists of muted browns and reds with subtle hints of gold on the case's fastenings and buckles. The bucket-like case is slightly open, revealing its interior, while the red strap is laid out to the left, with one end coiled. The background is a plain, beige color.
