This is a drawing of a clock stand, a candle holder, and a coin design. The clock stand features two abstract figures holding a circular frame. Underneath is a candle holder with a flame-like motif and to the right is a coin with the word "COIN" above it. The style of the drawing reflects art deco aesthetics with clean lines and stylized forms.
