The vessel is a tall bowl with handles on either side. It is painted black, and in red there are three figures. The figure on the left is nude with laurels in his hair, and is seated playing a flute. The central figure has long hair, wears laurels and robes, and is holding a branch. The figure on the right is a woman and has a snake on her head. She holds a large disc and her head is bowed and legs bent, possibly dancing. There are geometric motifs along the upper rim of the vessel and bordering the scene.
