Summary
A brown leather battery case for a camera flash and its wires. The case has two metal clasps and a metal on/off switch at one edge. The other edge has a leather carrying strap. The flash bulb is attached by a black electrical wire and is magnifying glass shape. The backing of the dish is a silver metal colour and contains a glass bulb with a grey metal base. The handle is covered in black plastic and the flash button is red. An additional wire presumably attaches into a camera. The flash bulb rests on two metal clips on the front of the leather case.
