In the shape of a puck with one flattened edge, this small container has been molded with a raised texture that depicts a fish with its head curled under itself, almost touching its tail. The surface has been painted a rich blue, and where the raised ridges of the scales and other details are, the white porcelain underneath shows through to highlight those lines. On the top surface there are two small holes, one in the center and one on the outer edge just behind the fish’s head.
