The image depicts a beautifully crafted ceramic vase featuring a detailed relief illustrating the biblical story of the Prodigal Son, where the returning son, depicted kneeling with a sense of remorse and humility, is embraced by his forgiving father, whose expression conveys compassion and acceptance, while another figure in the background appears contemplative, perhaps representing the older brother from the parable who struggled with jealousy at the father's unconditional welcome.
