Broad, deep bowl with a slightly splayed rim. The border of the rim is yellow: there are some military emblems and ribbons on a wide blue stripe under it a kind of decoration known as "Trophea". The middle of the interior shows an amoretto walking, with clasped hands, in a schematic landscape. The scene is framed by a yellow and blue circle. Painted in blue, green, brown, orange, yellow and white. Between the tropheas are small scrolls inscribed S.P.Q:R. (Senatus Populusque Romanus).
