The rectangular print is presented in a sepia-toned color palette. The patterned cloth features rows of diamond shapes with circles and flower designs. A brown pipe with a green bowl lies across the cloth with an orange stem. A dark brown pouch with a circular opening sits behind the pipe. Three seashells are arranged around the cloth. The background of the print displays Japanese characters. The bottom features the year "1907".
