Three large metal tools are displayed against a plain cream background. The color palette is primarily muted grays and browns. In the center is a pair of tongs with circular handles, to the left is a shovel-like tool with a flat, curved edge, and on the right is a long rod with a hooked end. The objects lean against each other, creating an overlapping arrangement.
