Hard-paste porcelain transverse flute, composed of four tapering cylindrical sections. Each section is decorated with polychrome floral bouquets and scattered flower-sprays, framed by gilt scrollwork, line borders, and pendant husk motifs.

The instrument is fitted with a pivot-mounted key on a ferrule; the seven ferrules, joints, end cap, and key are finely worked in gilt brass.
