Discus Iconography: Venatores fighting a bull: a central figure is seizing the bull by its horns; another man with his arm around the animal's belly is trying to immobilize it; two further figures, one on each side, are falling down after being catapulted into the air by the animal; a fifth man at right is stepping back, about to fall. Description: Moldmade. Ring handle with two grooves on upper part. Outward-sloping shoulder with ovolos with outward bases (barely visible on left side), separated from discus by a ridge marked off by two grooves; the ridge surrounds both discus and nozzle top, leaving a broad "strangled" channel between them. Central filling-hole. Air hole in lower field, facing channel. Short round-tipped nozzle surrounded by a raised edge. Slightly raised base-ring marked off by two circular grooves; central dotted circle.
