Composition in yellow tones, ochre, gray, earthy. Smooth texture. Composition representing hammer and tongs against smooth, clear background. In the center part of a pincers slightly diagonally from the left to the right and from front to back, with the clamp open slightly at the tip. As the screen was cut, the cables from the pincers were harmed, seeing only 3/4 of them. Just above, hammer horizontally across the entire width of the composition. The tip of the hammer is on the right being the part which is bifurcated down. Yet because of the screen have been cut, they are not apparent part of the cable, the width and the tip.
