Composed with meticulous pointillist precision, the image shows the famed object in its encasement, revealing its fragmented, oval form composed of several dark pieces surrounded by a silver frame. It offers a remarkably close-up and accurate visualization, uncommon in Western print culture of the time, particularly given the general inaccessibility of Mecca to non-Muslims during that period.
