The lid is also green with a small knob on top and a beige rim. The jar features a carved design consisting of a band of lines at the top, a band of curving lines below, and a band of petal-like shapes at the base. The jar sits on a beige surface in front of a beige wall. A blue and white patterned object and a red object are visible in the background.
