The tray is decorated with a symmetrical carved pattern made up of traditional Ainu spiral and fish-scale patterns.

The top and bottom petal have two smaller smooth petal shapes nested at the bottom. Around the spirals, an organic shape is outlined in dark lines against the fish-scale background, creating a lighter rounded floral background for the spiral pattern and petals.
