One Woman holds on to the top of the vase and wears and is relaxed as the vines climb over her and cover her. Her hair is fanned out and falls all around her. She is nude and her body is thick. On the other side a woman who looks grief stricken cups her breasts and points upwards. The texturized style of the vase gives this vase a rustic feel.
