The image shows a large earthenware jar with handles on each side at the top. The jar has a brown terracotta color with black and blue abstract floral designs and the numbers "1856" on the front. Variations in shades of brown and beige are visible across the surface. The jar is placed centrally on a plain, off-white background, with the number "5" and the name "W. Dunn" below it at the bottom.
