This is a photograph of a black textured surface with labels on it. The image shows a black cover with a leather-like texture. Labels with white text on a black background read "CAMEROON," "MOROCCO," "CUZCO," and "NEW GUINEA." A white label with "#5" written on it in black marker is in the top right corner. The black textured material dominates the image with the labels providing the only textural and color variation.
