The image is a photograph of a sculpture displayed on a white pedestal. The sculpture is made of a dark grey material and appears to be old and weathered. It is in the shape of a tall, cylindrical object with a pointed top and a flat base. The top of the object is decorated with intricate carvings of a lion's head and neck. The lion's eyes are closed and its mouth is slightly open, as if it is snarling. The body of the sculpture is also decorated with a pattern of small circles and lines. There is a small plaque at the bottom of the pedestal with Chinese characters on it. The background of the image is blurred, but it seems to be a museum or exhibition space with a painting hanging on the wall.
