The bowl is made of a light green material, possibly jade, and features a rounded body with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl sits on three small feet. The cover is domed with a small circular handle on top. Two ring handles are on either side of the bowl. The surface of the bowl and cover are carved with designs. The background of the image is grey.
