This painting shows a large, cream-colored vase and a small white statue of a robed figure placed on a gray surface. Behind these objects is a wall mural depicting religious and mythological figures amidst clouds in a faded array of blues, reds, and browns. Details of the mural are hard to discern, as the colors are light against the tan wall. The cream vase is positioned slightly to the right of center, while the statue stands directly in front of it, towards the bottom of the painting. To the left is a small glass bowl.
