A gray cast bronze vessel with some green coloring in spots stands upright on a grey background. It has a round lid and a middle handle that curves upright over it. The handle ends face the left and right. It is smaller at the top and curves wider at the bottom with a thick foot that flares slightly out. The entire piece is inscribed with detailed, swirling designs, some inscriptions are wide swirls with many tiny spirals in between them. The sides along and perpendicular to the handle have protruding thin, cut-out pieces that go along to the top and over the lid. The ends of the handle have ram heads coming out and the lid has a small, cup-like shape on the very top.
