A reddish-brown lacquered wood gourd-shaped vessel features a large rounded base merging into a smaller upper bulb, topped by a short neck and flared rim. Intricate black and red floral medallions with winged figures dominate each section, enclosed by interlocking geometric borders. Pointed leaf motifs and fine-lined bands wrap the neck, while a dark horizontal strip cinches the waist, separating the two ornate, bulbous layers.
