The background scene includes stylized mountains and grass. The vessel is painted in blue tones with yellow and hints of green. The figure has pale skin and brown, curly hair, and the material appears to be ceramic or pottery. The vessel is cylindrical with slightly curved sides, a wider base, and a narrow neck. Terracotta brown is visible at the rim and base, creating an aged and rustic appearance.
