The image shows a large jug or pitcher with a metallic lid as the central object, adorned with relief figures and motifs in earthy tones. There are relief scenes of people and dogs around the midsection, and a detailed drawing of a leaf-like emblem near the bottom left corner of the image, just outside the main outline of the jug.
