The sculpture is a decorative vase with intricate floral and bird motifs. The vase is primarily black, contrasting with the vibrant colors of the detailed imagery. The floral designs feature white, yellow, pink, and blue flowers with green leaves, with a bird depicted toward the base. The vase appears to be made of ceramic, with a glossy finish and painted decoration. It stands upright with a broad, cylindrical body tapering into a slightly narrower neck and a wider, flat rim.
