The image is a photograph of a plaque on a white railing. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has Chinese characters written on it. The text on the plaque reads "Tian'anmen Ornamental Columns" which translates to "Built in 1420, the 18th reign year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, the Tian'annmen ornamental columns are important components of Tiananmen's main structures. With a height of 9.57 meters and a weight of 20,000 kilos, the columns are carved of white marble. There is a pair of ornamental column, there is a plate called Cheng Lu Pan for collecting dew, and a crouching animal called Hou." The background of the image is blurred, but it appears to be a stone wall.
