One side of the cup is mostly black with fire damage, the rest is covered in a red gloss. Vines rendered in relief are now mostly missing. On one side is a chain of ivy leaves with berry clusters and two clusters tying the chain together. Behind, between two incised relief bands on the top and the bottom, is a series of vertical hatch marks. The foot is incrusted and missing much of the red gloss.

The authoritative record is held by Getty Museum. LinkedCulture surfaces this object and its connections; it does not alter institutional metadata.
