The image is a photograph of an ancient artifact displayed on a gray background. The artifact appears to be made of metal and is in the shape of a sword with a pointed tip. The blade of the sword is curved and has a rough texture. On top of the blade, there is a small sculpture of two small animals, possibly a deer or a bird, perched on a branch. The sculpture is intricately detailed and appears to have a rustic, weathered appearance. The number "16" is visible in the bottom right corner of the image.
