The image depicts a black billiard ball with a white circular patch at the center. The white patch features a stylized representation of two overlapping circles, reminiscent of the "8" ball in pool. The ball appears to be resting on a flat, gray surface, likely a table. The edges of the ball are sharply defined, and the surface texture of the ball is smooth, reflecting light subtly to create a few highlights. Attached to the ball is a silver chain, which extends to the right side of the image. The background is uniformly gray, providing a neutral backdrop that emphasizes the ball's form and details.
