This detailed watercolor depicts a large, purple, goblet-like object with a hexagonal stem leading up to a rounder body decorated with square panels and circles. It is mainly purple and appears to be translucent. The purple material reflects light in some areas. At the top is a gold area that looks like a cap. The object is centered on a plain paper background with a simple thin rectangular border.
