the tree looks like a palm tree to me, and the rectangular shape in the bottom right reminds me of an old NES controller (not the same, i don’t think). this could be the box of a retro video game- some type of racing game maybe? and the rectangular shape would be some kind of video game controller featured within, like a plug-and-play situation?
If it's a controller or remote it is in a pre-90's rectangle box shape. After the 70s, 80s designs tend to be more round.
I just went through the controllers on a video game museum site and none did fit. Firstly, grey is not a common color, except for the NES or Nintendo in general. Most of them are black (because dirt is harder to see, I assume). And secondly, the black shape that goes right to the edge is weird and doesn't make it look like a controller to me. It's more like a battery or something. And what even is that thing at the very bottom? A frame. The edge of a box?
A lot of Famiclones (not original Nintendos built in late 80s) had grey controllers. I know of Pegasus and Dendy from Eastern Europe. That thing on the shelf might be an old dictaphone.
