Recipient without opening on which, as is habitual in this type of objects, a fine neck attracts the attention, finished with the stylised head of a bird with a long beak. The precise identification of the bird is difficult, although it is probably not intended to be a faithful representation, since on the majority of occasions the animal forms that function as the clousure of vessels are invented. In any case, decorations in raised tablet form appear on the head, simulating the delicate plumage.
