The vessel is intact, but the black gloss has worn away in many places. Most of the edge and the underside of the foot is reserved. The decoration consists of a woman facing right and wearing a chiton and himation with her right arm extended, palm toward the ground hovering above a plant tendril growing from the ground. Underneath is an ovolo pattern with dots in the interstices.
