A vertical black-and-white photograph depicts a wooden mantlepiece leaning against a plain interior wall. Atop the mantlepiece sit a ceramic vase, a pair of metal equestrian statues, a clock, a brush, a candlestick mold, and a small American flag. A wooden cane hangs from the side of the mantle alongside a hollow gourd and a pair of cast iron tongs.
