There is a large clock face and an animal's paw on a wire mesh background. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of grey. The paw is positioned horizontally across the top center, partially covered by the mesh, while the clock face is towards the bottom right, slightly overlapping with some sticks that align vertically. A length of rope loops across the left side, intertwining with the wire mesh.
