The image shows a round, intricately carved object, titled "Brush Holder" by Hozan. The object is made of a light-colored material, possibly ceramic or stone. It features two men in robes carved into its center. The man on the right wears a robe with wide sleeves and a sash around his waist; he has a long beard and holds an object in one hand. The man on the left sits on a ledge, holds an object near his chest with both hands, and has a long beard; he wears a robe and a hat. The object has a decorative border around its edge, with a pattern of swirling lines and shapes. It sits on a base with three small feet, each resembling a human head or animal. The background of the image is light gray.
