A cloisonné enamel and metal stopper, composed of a rounded dome and long rod, rests horizontally. On our left, dark blue enamel with red and gold scrolling patterns decorates the dome atop a golden rim. A brown, woven-textured neck transitions to a thin, light-colored rod extending toward our right. The rod tapers significantly, ending in a flat, pointed tip.
