Salome is seated on a low cushioned seat with thin tapering legs. A tassel from the cord tying her gown together at the front has fallen to the floor. She holds an object that has been historically interpreted as a candle, a baton, a pen or a dildo (see entry 878 in the catalogue raisonné by Linda Gertner Zatlin, 2016 for further information)
