A tall, tapered painted wood vessel widens at an asymmetrical shoulder before narrowing toward a reddish-brown circular base. Its muted orange-brown surface appears rough and weathered, marked by deep vertical cracks and uneven patches of white and cream. A small, flat rim tops the vessel, which bulges slightly to the left. Fine, weathered lines streak across the exterior, emphasizing the texture of the aged wood.
