The image shows two carved stone reliefs, which are architectural details from the Primatiale Saint-Jean in Lyon, France. The reliefs are on the external facade of the cathedral: the upper one shows a figure wrestling with a dragon or serpent, while the lower one depicts a seated figure beside what appears to be a pipe organ or similar musical instrument.
