Visual Summary

Brief Description

A golden background with a steaming pot, a small dish, an object, and a dark bowl

Detailed Description

A textured golden background features several objects. In the lower left, a large, dark brown, rounded pot or kettle sits on a lighter brown, U-shaped stand. This stand rests on a black, irregular rectangular base. A light, hazy area above the pot appears to be steam rising, and a thin, reddish-brown stick or handle extends from the top of the pot towards the right. To the right of the pot, a small, reddish-brown, round dish or stand holds a small, light yellow, irregularly shaped object. Below and slightly to the right of this dish, a dark gray or black bowl with a rounded bottom and a slightly flared rim is positioned. The entire background is a shimmering, textured golden color. In the bottom left corner, there are black calligraphic characters and a small red rectangular seal.
