The sculpture is a vase featuring a rounded body with a long, narrow neck. The vase is primarily made of a white material, and it is adorned with intricate designs. These designs include several black oval and leaf-shaped panels on the vase's body and neck, decorated with vibrant colors such as green, blue, yellow, and white. One of these panels on the body of the vase features a depiction of a snarling blue-and-white dragon with a yellow-and-green face set against a black background. The other visible panels have floral designs in white, yellow, blue, and green. Between these panels, the white body of the vase also appears to have been carved with white swirling floral designs. There are some small spots of brown discoloration on these designs at the bottom of the vase.
