This image features a close-up view of a judge’s gavel made of dark polished wood with a metallic gold band around its head. The gavel rests on a matching sound block placed on a dark surface, possibly a bench or desk. The subdued lighting and shallow depth of field create a serious and formal atmosphere, reinforcing the symbolism of law, justice, and authority.
