A translucent, creamy white travertine lid forms a flat, circular disk with rounded, smooth edges. Pale tan veins and light brown patches mottle the surface, marked by fine, irregular lines and slightly raised crystalline deposits. Variations in the stone's opacity create a marbled effect across the face. Caught in soft light, the polished stone resembles a full moon, with subtle striations cutting through its celestial surface.
