The image is a close-up of an ancient stone carving on a pillar. The carving is intricately detailed and appears to be made of a reddish-brown stone. It features a figure of a man with a long beard and a hat, holding a staff in one hand and a book in the other. The figure is seated on a throne-like structure, with a large headdress and a long robe draped over his shoulders. The background of the carving is also made of the same stone, but it is not clearly visible in the image. The stone is weathered and has a rough texture, with some areas of the surface appearing rough and uneven. The overall impression is of a regal and majestic figure.
