The vessel has a wide shallow rim and two horizontal handles and one long handle which connects to the rim. In red, black, and yellow there is a scene in two tiers. The lower tier depicts a man stabbing a creature with the body of a man and a head of a bull while four other figures look on and gesture. The upper tier depicts characters marching from right to left with their heads turned toward each other and their arms gesturing in different directions. Some of the characters are nude and have tails. The rest of the vessel is painted all black.
