The front is decorated with an image of Artemis holding in either hand a swan, which she grasps by the neck. She is crowned with a polos and wears a long, elaborately embroidered peplos. She has sickle-shaped wings. Below the handle, a bird flies to the right. Around the mouth is a simple step pattern, and there are various filler ornaments (rosettes, lotus buds) in the field.
