This detailed watercolor depicts a metal object. The object is vertical, with two sides connected at the top and in the middle. There appears to be a hinge and a spring in the center of the object, suggesting that it is intended to open and close. One side of the object appears silver and has swirling patterns engraved on it, while the other side is a dull gray color. At the base of the duller side is a looped brown rope or string. The object is centered on the page, and the background is blank white paper. The artist's signature, "Arthur E. Reynolds III", is in the lower right corner of the painting.
