Two partially visible human figures emerge from the waves with bare shoulders and heads turned toward each other, their hair rendered in delicate lines. A large fish head with an open mouth and bulging eye appears among the carved wave forms. Tall, curved leaves and plant-like fronds rise behind the central sea motifs, and a decorative urn or vase with fluted body and finial rests among the foliage. Fine linear shading and crosshatching cover the composition, and a column of water cascades down from one of the wave formations into a darker textured base at the bottom.
