The handle, D-shaped in cross-section, drawn diagonally upward in an elegant curve and, after a bend, descending vertically to the shoulder attachment.

On the upper border of the lower section a cymation; on the domed shoulder in front of the spout a female head, from which tendrils with rolled volutes at the ends extend on both sides. At the lower end of the neck, vertically running long tongues. Minimal chips, otherwise intact. Height 18.5 cm. CULTURAL ASSET!
