Two coins and a book lie on a wooden base. The base is the deep reddish-brown of mahogany. The book is opened to Rilke's "Lament." The page is water-stained, as evidenced by light creases and the outline of a stain dividing the page into darker and lighter regions. Two coins lie next to the book. A smaller circle is carved out of each coin. On the left coin, the inner circle contains a golden star against a white background. On the right coin, the inner circle contains multiple little stars and a singular bigger star against a black backdrop. Both outer circles are light green and streaked with gold flakes, and each coin is bordered by thin golden spirals.
