The spherical bowl stands on a round base above wich it is decorated with rope motifs. This line of motifs is followed by alternating transferred lines and rosettes. The middle shows a broad band of stylized arches with columns. There are musicians and dancing couples in the seven arches probably performing six steps of a contemporary dance. The line of inscriptions under the above scenes is illegible. The narrowing top ends in a cylindrical neck here, the alternating motifs of lines and rosettes are followed by transferred ornaments of clovers, lion heads and female masks.
