The crate, labeled 'CAX 3824', contains what appears to be a bronze or brass bell secured inside. An older man in a white polo shirt is directing the movement while a younger man operates the pallet jack.
    Two individuals are engaged in conversation inside a large industrial warehouse or distribution facility. A man in a light blue dress shirt listens attentively while a woman wearing a red shirt and green safety vest gestures with her hand, appearing to explain or point something out. The facility features yellow-painted support columns and a polished concrete floor.
    A large warehouse facility contains a long row of palletized goods wrapped in clear plastic stretch film and bubble wrap for protection. The items are lined up along a yellow safety line on a concrete floor, suggesting they are staged for shipping or receiving. The warehouse has a high ceiling with exposed steel trusses and industrial lighting.
