The image shows a large metal tool with a central handle and curved arms that split into hooks at the ends. The tool is predominantly gray against a beige background, giving it a monochromatic appearance. Positioned centrally, the handle is at the top, with one arm extending to the left in a gentle curve and the other dropping vertically before curving outwards to the right at the bottom.
