A partially obscured label on the crate reads "Fragile: Rare First Editions." The crate itself is unusually heavy for its size. A faint, sweet odor, like hay and manure, emanates from a crack in the wood. A single, muddy hoof print is visible on the crate's side, partially covered by a loose book. The crate is positioned slightly askew, suggesting it may have been recently moved. A small amount of straw protrudes from beneath a gap between the crate's boards. The sound of faint mooing can be heard when the crate is gently tapped. A small, dark stain resembling dried mud is on the floor directly beneath the crate. A loose floorboard near the crate reveals a small patch of damp earth. A fly is buzzing persistently around the crate.
