The plate is round and white with a wide rim. The rim has a design of butterflies and leaves. In the center of the plate, there is a black and white illustration of three women wearing traditional Asian clothing. Two of the women are standing and one is sitting on a low stool. The standing women are on either side of the seated woman. The woman on the left is standing by a table with objects on it. The woman on the right has a basket on her arm. The seated woman has her hair down and appears to be washing it. The background of the image is a plain gray surface.
