The scene is detailed, featuring a central figure holding a sword, another figure presenting the head on a platter, and a third figure watching. The background shows an interior setting with brick walls and windows. The dish is predominantly colored in earthy tones, including browns, greens, and blues, with accents of white. The border of the dish is decorated with a pattern of blue and green leaf-like designs, interspersed with white floral motifs, creating a frame around the central image.
