The body of the vase is decorated with a scene of several birds in various flying and perched poses, their feathers rendered in shades of brown, white, black, and gray with small red accents on their beaks or feet. Near the base and lower sides there are stylized green leaves and stems, and a rocky motif in gray and brown. Subtle wave-like markings in lighter blue and white suggest water across the midsection. The rim and foot of the vase are darker, appearing black or very dark gray, and the vase rests on a reflective surface that mirrors its colors faintly.
