The image shows a close-up of the headrest of a gondola. The headrest is made of black and gold metal with intricate designs and patterns. It features two lions on either side of the lion's head, with their heads facing towards the left side. The lion's mane is flowing in the wind and its eyes are closed, giving it a peaceful and serene appearance. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a body of water, possibly a canal or a river. The gondolier's seat is covered in a black fur-like material, and there is a wooden pole visible in the foreground. The overall color scheme of the image is black, gold, and red.
