The image shows a close-up of an ancient artifact displayed in a glass case. The artifact appears to be made of metal and has a dark, weathered appearance. It has a round base with four legs, each with intricate carvings on them. The legs are decorated with a lion's head and tail, and the head is facing towards the right side of the image. The lion's eyes are closed, and its mouth is slightly open, as if it is snarling. The overall design of the artifact is ornate and detailed. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a museum or exhibition space with other artifacts visible.
