The image depicts a black and white drawing of an ornate vase titled "Ewer Ornamented with Dolphins" by Enea Vico. The vase has a narrow base that widens at the bottom and tapers to a narrower top. A decorative band encircles the upper portion featuring a dolphin on each side; these dolphins appear to support a spout that curves back over the vase, with their tails entwined. The body of the vase showcases a skull above a row of shells and other decorative elements. Below the decorative band are two protruding ram-like heads on either side. The background of the image displays horizontal lines. At the bottom, there is a line of text in Latin.
