In this photograph, a black belt with a silver buckle forms a loop on the surface. The loop of the belt is filled with jet black chunks of coal, some is shiny and some is matte black, the same color as the belt itself. The belt has a groove in the center and is clearly well-worn. It has a crease on the setting where it’s usually secured, which is three spots from where it is buckled in the photograph. Beyond the coal and belt, the photo has very little depth since the background is white with no distinguishing features.
An 18th-century English-style portrait sags out of its frame. A broom rests on books on the floor and the bottom of the frame.
