The upper portion of the vessel has a darker coloration with a hatched-line pattern forming chevron shapes. The lower portion of the vessel is lighter with a cross-hatched pattern covering it. The vessel sits on a flat surface, with a shadow cast to the left. The background behind the vessel is white.
