The red paint makes it hard to tell, but looking at the stem part, there is a wider, mostly green and yellow container behind it: Am I seeing things or is this actually what's drawn there?
I've been puzzling over that as well, for quite a while, and simply can't tell if it's meant to be one container behind another, or if it's meant to indicate transparency (or translucency), or if it is meant to symbolically represent the inside and outside at the same time.
It was this container in particular that made me suspect that at least some of the objects in this section were drawn from real life rather than from imagination because purely imaginative drawings don't usually have this sort of "awkwardness" in the outline. It feels like the illustrator is trying to represent something that may be difficult to draw.
