The ceramic pillow is predominantly white with a black design. The top surface features a wavy edge with a swan being attacked by a bird of prey. The swan is on the right and the bird of prey on the left. The base shows curled, vine-like designs. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. William de Morgan created "Pillow with a Falcon Attacking a Swan".
