A round vessel with two loop handles is photographed from above on a pale surface. Its interior is decorated in dark paint with a central band of horizontal lines and triangles, diamond-filled panels in the upper and lower areas, and cross-hatched fields at the sides. A crack runs across the rim at upper right, and a small loop of string or wire lies at the lower edge.
