Earthenware, moulded, tin-glazed and painted in blue. The panel is oval with a raised border. The flat central area is painted with Christ seated in a boat being rowed by a woman on a Dutch waterway. Below, is an inscription from St Paul's Epistle to the Philippians: 'Een ding doe [ik] vergetende 't gene dat achter is, ende strekkende my tot het gene dat voren is, jage ik na het wit tot den prijs der roepinge Gods, die van boven is in Christo Jesu. Phile. 3.14'. On the upper edge of the rim are the words, 'De Ziele gestadig tegen den Stroom der Sonden oproeyende' (The Soul steadily rowing against the Stream of Sin).
