The image shows a black and white drawing of an ornate, curved design. The curved shape is reminiscent of a gun or rifle component. The design features a lion-like creature rearing up on its hind legs in the bottom right section of the curve. The creature has a long tail and appears to be looking to the left. The curved border of the design is decorated with intricate floral patterns and foliage. A thicker, more ornate pattern adorns the top section of the curve. The background of the image is a light beige color with darker spots and stains scattered throughout.
