A wooden toy ship with soldiers stands on wheels. The ship is primarily brown with unpainted wood elements, while the soldiers are dressed in shades of blue, green, and black. The ship features multiple sails and a tall central mast, with a soldier figure positioned near the top. The soldiers are arranged along the length of the ship, with ropes and flags adding detail to the scene. The ship is placed centrally within the image, viewed slightly from above.
