The image shows a stone disk with a circular design carved into its surface. The disk appears to be fragmented, with a portion missing from the top right and a section squared off on the left side.

The circular design consists of concentric bands filled with various patterns and symbols. At the center is a square with rounded corners containing a circle. Surrounding this central square are four smaller circles, one in each corner. The space between the square and the circles is filled with decorative wave and animal-like motifs, possibly dragons or phoenixes.

The outer bands feature a variety of patterns, including a band of triangles, a band of wavy lines, and a band with what appear to be Chinese characters interspersed with vertical lines. The characters are distributed unevenly around the circle.

The overall aesthetic of the design suggests an ancient or historical artifact, possibly of East Asian origin, based on the character style and symbolism used. The stone itself is a dark, mottled color, indicating it could be a type of slate or a similar material.
