The image is a photograph of a sculpture of a lion's head on display in a museum. The sculpture is made of a light-colored material, possibly stone or plaster, and is displayed on a white pedestal. The lion's face is in profile, with its head turned slightly to the left and its eyes looking directly at the viewer. Its mouth is slightly open, as if it is snarling or alert. The head is slightly tilted to the right, giving the impression that it is looking off into the distance. The background is dark, making the sculpture stand out even more.
