The image features two primary objects: a perforated, metal-like object with the number "1894" at the top and a flat, elongated piece below it. The top piece has a decorative, curvilinear design, while the bottom piece is a simple, straight line with a hook on one end. The color palette is muted, consisting primarily of shades of brown against a beige background. The largest object is positioned towards the upper center of the frame, while the elongated piece is directly below it, centered. The artist's signature, "William M. Lemos," is visible near the lower right corner.
