The image is a close-up of a door knocker in the shape of a lion's head. The lion's face is made of a dark-colored metal, possibly bronze or cast iron, and is intricately detailed with a realistic expression. The head is facing towards the right side of the image, with its eyes closed and its mouth slightly open, as if it is snarling. The handle of the knocker is curved and has a small loop at the top for hanging. The background is a white wooden surface with peeling paint, giving it a weathered and aged appearance.
