Composed of eighteen joined fragments, preserving much of the bowl and the handle A/B. On both sides, two pairs of a ram to right and a sphinx to left. Each sphinx wears a fillet. Various parts of the animals’ bodies are missing.

The flaring bowl has a rounded lip. The interior is black save for a reserved line on the inside of the lip. The exterior is black except for the figured band, and a stripe towards the bottom of the bowl.
