The image shows a large, ornate brass object with a spherical midsection, a tall, finial-like top, and three curved legs at the base. The object is positioned centrally. It has a brass color palette with shadows. The object stands upright, with its body extending vertically, while its base and legs spread outwards. The name "Hans Korsch" appears at the lower left corner of the image, framed by a simple border defining the edges.
