The image shows two oval-shaped dark-colored glass bottles with narrow necks. The bottles have embossed images of men's busts on their front sides. The left bottle features a man with short hair wearing a collared military-style shirt. The words "GEN TAYLOR NEVER SURRENDER" are written around the edge of the embossed image. The right bottle features a man with short hair wearing a collared shirt. The words "BEWARE OF HIS COOLING TRA" are written around the edge of the embossed image, but are cut off on the right side. The background is a light-colored wall. The image is in black and white. The bottles appear to be on display on a shelf, with a small sign in front reading "The Metropolitan Museum of Art". The image title is "Flask by Dyottville Glass Works".
