The image shows a close-up of the handle of a sword. The handle is made of gold and has an intricate design on it. The design features two lions, one on each side, with their heads facing each other. The lions are intertwined and appear to be in a fighting stance. The lion on the left is lying on its back with its head turned to the side, while the one on the right is standing on its hind legs. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a clear glass display case.
