I'm a little suspicious about that being Steve Jobs -- the face looks rather feminine (but I don't have a photo to compare it to).

Also, does anyone recognize the wall decoration now that it is enhanced?

Cheers,

It looks to me like it might be the Chinese symbol Shou. They say it is often displayed inside of a circle and is the symbol for longevity

There are a few variations on how this is written. And I know nothing about the Chinese language.

With no handrail, I wouldn't use it even on a perfectly calm day.
