The scene, set in Longmiang, Laos, depicts four small brass bowls arranged on a dark wooden surface. In the mid-ground, a prominent brass bowl features a scalloped rim with perforated cross-shaped cut-outs. Its interior is adorned with an intricate, enamel-like design centered around a white chrysanthemum-like flower, encircled by green leaves, all set against a red patterned background. Immediately behind this, a second, similarly styled scalloped brass bowl is partially visible, appearing slightly out of focus. In the lower foreground, the smooth, curved edge of a plain, unadorned brass bowl is visible, partially cropped from the frame. Further in the background, a fourth, simple brass bowl is faintly discernible and largely obscured. The wooden surface exhibits visible grain and minor imperfections. The environment is dimly lit, with reflections of light visible on the polished brass surfaces.
