The image is a photograph of a small, carved ivory figurine. The figurine is in the shape of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a hat with a feather on top. He is holding a book in his hands and appears to be engrossed in reading. The figure is standing on a clear acrylic base with a rope-like design around the base. The background is blurred, so the focus is on the figurine and the man's face.
