The image depicts a dark, wet statue resembling a mythical guardian lion (Chinthe) situated outdoors in the city of Sintgaing, Myanmar. The statue, appearing to be made of stone or a similar composite material, is dark grey or black with a textured, possibly granular, surface. It is positioned in a crouching stance, facing right, with its right front paw resting on a spherical, patterned object. The statue features elaborate carvings of a mane, stylized fur, and a snarling facial expression with visible teeth and intricate eyebrow detailing. Moisture droplets are visible on its surface, indicating recent exposure to water. The statue is positioned amidst dense green foliage, predominantly ferns and various leafy plants, some of which are growing directly around and near its base. To the right of the statue, the ground transitions into a paved area composed of rectangular grey pavers. A pink, cone-shaped object is partially visible in the lower-left foreground, partially obscured by the surrounding vegetation. In the background, a building with a light-colored exterior wall and a dark brown roof overhang supported by visible wooden beams is present. A wooden railing or balcony structure is visible between the statue and the building. Additional lush green vegetation, including larger leafed plants, fills the mid-ground and background on the right side of the frame. The ambient lighting suggests an overcast sky or a shaded area.
