The image is a photograph of a sign on a stone wall that reads "The Northern Palace". The sign is rectangular in shape and has a white background with black text. The text is written in a serif font and is centered on the sign. Below the text, there is a smaller text that explains the history of the Northern Palace.

The sign is mounted on a gray stone wall and is located in front of a red rock formation. The rock formation appears to be made up of different shades of red and brown, with some areas appearing darker and others lighter. The sign also has a small illustration of a castle in the top right corner. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the sign and the rock formation in the background.
