Design for a rosewater bowl on a large sheet of cream-coloured paper. There is a bird's eye view looking into the bowl, below which id an elevation and a section. The plan of the bowl is a bird's eye view into it displaying the central sculpture, which looks like guillotine-shaped blades, surrounding a royal coat of arms. The sculpture is painted in yellow ochre and brownish watercolour with grey shadows.
