This rectangular shaped porcelain plaque depicts the Old Testament Biblical figure Ruth in a cornfield. She is dressed plainly in a grey shift, white headscarf, and carrying a wheatsheaf under her left arm. She holds a direct gaze with the viewer, and stands in front of a subdued sunrise or sunset in the background.
