The image contains two main objects: a metallic spurred piece with a star-shaped wheel and an intricately detailed wooden or leather object with a convex surface and carved design. The color palette includes silvery grays, browns, and warm wood tones set against a plain background. The metallic spur is on the left side with its star pointing outwards, while the carved object is on the right, overlapping slightly with the spur.
