This image, taken with the Narrow Angle Camera (NAC), gives us a good look at Zeami crater. Named for the 14th century Japanese actor and playwright Zeami Motokiyo, this crater displays a variety of features characteristic of complex craters on Mercury. We can see the remnants of an inner peak ring, terraced walls, and hollows scattered across the crater floor, especially near the top of the image.
