The image shows a small, square glass container with a lidless top. The container's body features a textured diamond pattern on the front and sides. There are four short legs at the bottom and decorative columns at each corner. The top edge has a scalloped design. The container appears to be made of clear or white glass and sits on a light-colored surface with a shadow cast to the left. The title of the image is "Salt" by an unknown artist.
