The image shows a brown, two-armed balance scale with a weight hanging below it. The scale is positioned vertically in the center of the image, with two symmetrical pans on either end of the horizontal beam. The scale, including the small cylindrical post at the top center connecting the arms, is in shades of brown. The balance scale occupies most of the frame, with neutral, off-white space surrounding it.
