The amphora has an echinus mouth, glazed on the topside, with red lines on the inner and outer edges, and on the lower edge of the exterior. The inside of the mouth and neck are glazed to the junction of the neck and shoulder. The round handles are completely glazed. On the neck, on both sides, a panther leaping to the right. Red ring at join of neck and shoulder. On the shoulder, a band of enclosed tongues. On the glazed body, three pairs of red lines: below the lower handle attachments, below the equator, and above the rays. Nineteen rays above the foot. The echinus foot has a red line on the edge; the outer edge and the underside are reserved. After Clark, A., CVA Malibu 1 (1988).
