A gold vessel with cloisonné enamel features a bulbous body, tapered neck, and domed lid topped with a pointed knob. Emerald green enamel covers the surface, decorated with a dense network of white scrolling vines and six-petaled flowers with pink centers. Thin gold lines outline the motifs, which encircle the body and neck in repeating rows. The jar sits on a narrow, flared base with matching green and white floral ornamentation.
