The image shows two clay architectural models with domed tops and decorative details. The color palette consists of brown, beige, red, and orange tones. One structure is on the left with a grand facade, multiple arches, and a central entrance, while the other is on the right with rounded windows and a simpler design. Both models are set against a light background, with the larger one slightly to the left and the smaller one to the right.
