Black-gloss exterior. Band of tongues with dots around the rim. Coral-red interior. The (missing) omphalos is encircled by an inner ring of red-figure upright circumscribed palmettes and an outer ring of red-figure tongues with dots. Restored from fragments. A ring on the bottom of the exterior misfired grey (with some bright orange) from stacking during firing.
