Description

Two upright poles of bark-covered wood support several crossbars that project from both sides, with a top beam carrying a number of branches that angle upward and outward. The grey-brown timber looks weathered and rough, and the frame stands on a dark floor in front of a white cloth draped over a wall corner. No scale or people are included.
