A cylindrical, slightly ovoid shaped, clear glass tumbler with three painted butterflies on the front. On the top left is a small butterfy with a burnt orange body with short orange antennae, and pale yellow wings, with green accents in the center and towrds the outer parts of the wings. The wings also have brown edges and six small brown spots; one on each of the top wings and two on each of the bottom wings. Beside this, to the right, is a small butterfly with a long grey body with orange stripes, and four, slender, light blue-grey wings, with three orange spots on each of the top wings. The butterfly has long, thin, black legs and curling grey antennae. Below both of these butterflies, slightly to the left. is a larger butterfly with sky blue wings and a brown and ochre body with orange spots and long grey antennae. A deep purple section grows from where the body joins the wings, with brown lines tracing the wings, inticating a scale-like structure. The top two wings are edged with dark brown.
