The vessel has a wide and slightly flattened belly, a long and narrow neck, and a wide and asymmetrical discharge. The three main bulges in the lower part of the vessel form the basis for the three relief flowers leading under the vessel's outlet. On the flower axis there are three female figures that add dynamism to the whole. Women rest their feet on the belly of the vessel and bend it back to grab the flower petals.
