A large wooden platter featuring an assortment of cubed cheeses, watermelon slices, cantaloupe, grapes, and strawberries. A carved melon holds additional fruit, all arranged on a white tablecloth.
Several clear glasses, possibly cocktail glasses, each containing small red spherical items and garnished with an orange slice and an orange peel twist, displayed on a reflective silver tray.
