The body is crafted of wood and richly inlaid with numerous sculpted mother-of-pearl and white material elements, creating an intricate and visually striking surface. It is fitted with two wrought-iron eyelets and suspension rings for carrying. The spout is mounted with a threaded brass fitting and secured by a finely carved white material stopper.
