Summary description of image contents: an object that has been eroded but not too badly. The "eyespot" turns out to be one of four such features that are arranged like a flower around a central disc with dimples. The beak on the underside is ringed by what appears to be four indented "petals" and a flower pattern on the lower left overlaps a ring pattern. Numerous features.
