The image depicts a black and white photograph of a Stupa by an unknown artist. The object has a wide circular base with a carved design around its edge. Above the base is a series of three concentric circular ridges. The main body of the object is a large, rounded, bell-shaped form with a line running around it near the top. A short cylindrical section with two narrow ridges at top and bottom connects the main body to a series of 11 stacked, decreasingly sized concentric circles. At the top is a small cone-shaped element with a small circular element on top. The background is a plain wall with a light-colored floor. A shadow is cast to the left.
