.A- An intact dinos except for a small chip on the lip. The mouth is decorated with black and alternating red and white tongues. Where the shoulder meets the neck are black and red bands; underneath these is a scale pattern in black, brown, red, and white. Two figural registers alternate with registers containing dot rosettes and volutes. The upper register has sphinxes, lions, leopards, goats, and a boar; the lower register has panthers, lions, goats, boars, and a bull. There are dot rosettes in the field of both registers. The bottom of the vessel has a red ring around a point, then six concentric brown rings, then a double ray pattern, pointing upwards. .B- An intact dinos stand. Incrustation covers most of one side. Tongues of black and alternating red and white decorate the neck; red dot rosettes decorate the lip and body. There are red and white bands at the top of the foot followed by alternating bands of animals and bands of dot rosettes and volutes with the same animals depicted as in .A except for the addition of a water bird in the upper register. The bottom of the foot has a downward pointing ray pattern in black.
