The image shows a close-up of an ancient artifact on display in a glass case. The artifact appears to be made of metal and has a rectangular shape with a flat base. On top of the base, there are two small figures, one of which is a lion and the other is a snake. The lion is on the left side of the image, with its head turned to the side and its mouth open, as if it is roaring. The snake is on its hind legs and is coiled around the lion's neck. The two figures are facing each other, with the lion on the right side and the snake on the bottom. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a part of a larger object, possibly a vase or a bowl.
