The image displays a cross-section of a tree trunk with two metal tools inserted into it. The colors are earthy browns and grays. The tree trunk is the focal point, with a hand holding one of the tools below to the left. An isolated view of the tool is below and to the right of the hand, with a subtle detail of its imprint just beneath.
