The image depicts a gold-colored lyre. The lyre has a rectangular base. The body of the lyre is U-shaped with a vertical line pattern down the center. A protrusion extends from the bottom of the U. The top of the U has a rounded rectangular shape with a design on it. Two scroll-like designs protrude from the top on either side. The lyre has decorative scrollwork along the bottom of the U. The entire piece appears to be made of metal and has a weathered look with many black spots. The background is dark at the top and lightens to gray at the bottom.
