Interior: Dot within a circle set in a reserved tondo. Exterior: Sides A and B both depict scenes of revelry in a reserved band with seven dancing figures on Side A and six on side B. The figures are alternately male and female. Added red is used for hair, wreaths, and tunics; the white used for the women's skin has worn away. The handles are flanked by palmettes. A thin red band appears beneath the figural scene.
