The image displays a small, light-colored bowl with an eagle perched atop it, with its wings partially unfurled. The bowl has inscriptions, and the eagle is embracing three spheres. The color palette is soft shades of beige and gray, with a slight blue tint to the object, set against a light tan background. The ensemble is positioned centrally in the image, with ample space around it, and there is a signature to the right of the object, close to the lower right corner of the image.
