The scene with six figures on a barge at water's edge among stacked oyster traps, the standing adult figures bent intently on a single pearl held by a crouched lady, the standing bejeweled lady pointing to the infant on her back, and a cross-legged pearl-diver staring at the water, the background with green-glazed palms and an evening sky glazed in shades of pink and violet, the wide border with a continuous band of eight dragons Chasing the Flaming Pearl, with bands of smoke-rings formed by swirls of coordinating glazes.
