The image shows a pair of wooden ice skates with leather straps. The wooden surfaces of the skates appear weathered, with a natural wood look and some areas showing a greenish tinge. The leather straps are brown. One skate is slightly in front of the other, both angled to display the wooden blocks and crisscrossed wooden planks. The background is a plain, off-white canvas.
