Interspersed among the ornamentation are kitchen and dining objects including a lidded vessel on legs, a handled cup, bowls, a round covered dish, and various utensils. A broom or brush with bound bristles and a spoon are visible among the objects. A large cabbage or head of lettuce and other produce sit near the center foreground.

The engraving is rendered with fine parallel hatching and crosshatching lines that create texture and shading across the composition.
