This is a vintage scientific illustration of a jellyfish, specifically *Pectanthia asteroides*. The illustration is on a pale yellow background and is part of a larger plate labeled 'Deep Sea Medusae Pl. 7' from 'The Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger'. The central focus is a large, circular jellyfish with radial symmetry. The bell of the jellyfish is a pale blue, transitioning to orange and red towards the center. The center appears to be a vibrant, fiery orange-red. Numerous tentacles extend outwards from the bell, appearing as delicate, thin lines. The tentacles are a light, almost white color. Around the central illustration are smaller, circular diagrams (numbered 1 through 6) that appear to be cross-sections or different views of similar jellyfish specimens. These smaller diagrams are rendered as line drawings. The overall style is detailed and precise, typical of scientific illustrations from the 19th century. The illustration is labeled with the scientific name 'PECTANTHIA ASTEROIDES' at the bottom. The image has a vintage, historical feel, suggesting it was created as part of a scientific expedition or study.
