A brocade motif, enhanced with painted gilding, decorates the rim of the bowl and borders the central image of three figures set against a large tree in the foreground, and an expanse of water and sky in the distance. The bowl is encompassed within a pierced and stylized gilt brass mount with dragon handles and a four-legged base terminating in scrolled feet.
