Decoration

The vessel stands on a circular pedestal. The interior of the bowl is decorated with three vertical plants. On the outside, four ibexes, only partly preserved, face right and follow one another. They have long backward curving horns and short tails. Their bodies are partly filled with lines. A dog, with a curled tail, faces them. A boat with 12 oars, seen in top view, is placed between the backs of the dog and of the left-most ibex. Two of the oars are erased, situated at the end of the boat, second from the last, on both sides. The base of the vessel is entirely coated in white paint.
