An archway, constructed from light-colored stone or concrete, frames a distant, prominent tower. The arch features intricate carvings on its upper frieze, displaying calligraphic or stylized leaf patterns, and geometric blue and white tilework on its underside. Fluted pilasters are visible on the arch supports. In the midground, a tall, ornate golden gate extends across the scene. The gate consists of multiple panels with vertical bars topped by finials, and extensive scrollwork and decorative motifs at its base and mid-sections. Behind the gate, green foliage and trees are visible, with faint glimpses of distant buildings. The focal point, viewed through the gate and archway, is the National Emblem and Flagpole of Tajikistan (also known as National Flag Square or Independence Square) in Dushanbe. This tower is cylindrical, predominantly blue and white/light gray, and features a prominent light-colored spiral band wrapping around its central blue section. The tower is crowned with a multi-tiered golden structure resembling a royal emblem or crown. A dark lamppost stands to the left of the tower, behind the gate. In the lower foreground, a dark asphalt road surface is visible. On the far right, a male individual in a dark green uniform and a light-colored face mask stands on a light-colored curb. He is holding an object in his right hand and is positioned with his back partially to the viewer, facing slightly left. A white vertical marker is present near the curb. The sky is clear and light blue.
