This is a biconical goblet with a low convex shoulder and a high neck. The surface has a dark brown decoration. It is divided into four zones with two repeated plots. One pair is filled with vertical thin lines. The other has oblique lines and painted corners with a crossed-out oval. The ovals outside and semiovals inside of the goblet are symbols of different phases of the Moon. Perhaps the delimitation into two or four sectors on similar goblets is a way to schematically and stylized tell a certain plot (for example, religious or an episode from the life of Cucuteni-Trypillia tribes).
