The image is a black and white photograph of a staircase with a checkered floor. The staircase appears to be made of wood and has a metal railing on either side. In the center of the image, there is a small white pedestal with a statue of a bird perched on top. The statue is facing towards the right side of the pedestal. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a room with a window on the left side. The image is taken from a high angle, looking down on the staircase.
