The Stupa by an unknown artist depicts a gray stone or metal object with a conical shape. The object features a large, rounded base adorned with a decorative border of small, rounded shapes. Above the base is a large, rounded section with two horizontal lines. The middle section consists of a series of 18 horizontal, stacked discs that taper towards the top. A smaller, rounded section with a decorative border sits atop the discs. The object is crowned with a small, pointed finial featuring a teardrop shape with rounded protrusions at its base, and a flat disc underneath. The background is a plain light grey color.
