The image shows a stylized lion accompanied by decorative elements and text. The lion is depicted in a simplified, graphic style with contrasting colors or shades, possibly resembling a woven textile. The lion has a squared, patterned mane and a bold, symmetrical face. To the left, the words "MARY WEBB" and the date "1839" are inscribed against a contrasting background. On the right side, there is a decorative pattern resembling leaves or foliage, with vertical and horizontal bars providing a lattice effect. The composition is neatly framed, giving it a tapestry-like quality.
