The vessel is hollow, without a bottom, and expanded conically up and down. There are two vertical handles in the connecting area of the "cones". The outer surface is ornamented with horizontal lines. Monocular-shaped vessels had a cult purpose. It is also assumed that the "monocles" could serve as stands or bases for drums.
