A silver and amethyst lid features a smooth cylindrical base and a dome patterned with concentric rows of raised, rounded dots. These rows decrease in size toward the peak, where a pointed, dark purple amethyst sits. A fringe of minute beads lines the dome's lower rim. Light glimmers off the many protrusions across the silver surface, while the base shows subtle yellow discoloration.
