The image is a close-up of an ancient artifact, possibly a part of a larger structure. The object appears to be made of metal or bronze and is intricately carved with detailed designs and patterns. The top of the object is shaped like a snake's head, with its mouth open and tongue sticking out. The snake's body is covered in scales and its eyes are large and round. The body is also decorated with intricate patterns and swirls.

The object is resting on a circular base, which is also made of the same material as the object. The base is also intricately designed with a floral pattern and has a smooth texture. The overall appearance is of a reptile-like creature with a pointed snout and sharp teeth.
