The image is a photograph of a plaque on a black background. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has a white border. The text on the plaque is written in Vietnamese and translates to "May chem" in English. Below the text, there is a subtitle that reads "Guillotine: One of 2 guillotines that the French colonialist used to cut heads of revolutionary patriotic soldiers who were imprisoned in Hoa Lo prison. Nguyen Thanh Hoa, Pho Duc Chinh (1930-1932). Nguyen Luốc đồng đài đước Đạc chien si yeu nữc và cách mang dầu tảng bột giất giam. Họa Lo: Nguyen Thực Hậc, Phô Dươc Chính (1920-1930). Nguyen Dịc Cânh, Ho Ngoc Lan, Nguyen Hoang Ton (1920 -1932)." The plaque appears to be made of metal and is mounted on a metal pole.
