caption: The image shows an ivory cross with carvings of animals and birds on it, set against a white background. The cross is intricately carved with a variety of animals, including a lion, a giraffe, a zebra, and a hippopotamus, all of which are depicted in a realistic style. The animals are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with the lion in the center and the giraffe to the left. The birds are perched on either side of the cross, adding a touch of whimsy to the design.
