At the bottom center of the bowl is the Baby Jesus, lying on a plinth of some kind, his head on a pillow or a folded blanket. At right is a ¾ length portrayal of a white-bearded, haloed St. Joseph, wearing a green tunic and red cloak. At the top center of the bowl is a gold star. Just under the center of the bowl is the head of a tannish-red bull, standing between the two parents, gazing at the child.
