A damaged, rectangular metal crate, primarily dark grey with faded stenciled markings in white. Its surface is a mix of brushed steel and scuffed paint, showing deep gouges and rust spots along the edges and corners, indicating heavy use and exposure. The texture is coarse and uneven, with visible welds and rivets reinforcing its robust structure. A heavy, tarnished metallic clasp closure is prominent on the front, suggesting a secure but worn container.
