A stone lantern sits on multiple square steps. The lantern has a square base and a bulbous middle with rectangular cutouts. A decorative roof with curved eaves tops the lantern. A short decorative railing surrounds the steps. Trees are in the background behind the railing. A wall with dense vegetation is on the right side. The image is rendered in shades of brown on aged paper. Handwritten text and a red stamp are at the bottom.
