The square, straight foot supports a curved, splaying, short body that ends in a narrowing, tall neck and a square top rim that curves inwards. The body is decorated with strict geometric ornaments on the romers of the long neck and round the top rim. The blue, strongly stylized plant on the edges is lined with indented, black contours. Roots cover the short body while the foliage runs around the top rim, against the dark yellow background. The long neck and the four sides reveal the natural colour of the material. Both the coloured and the natural surfaces have a fine, silky gloss.
