The vessel is entirely black and has ribbing running up to shoulder level. Around the neck is a gilded necklace, with a knot under the handle. Gilding also embellishes the ovolo pattern that runs around the mouth, and the junction of the handles with the body. The edge of the foot, a band just below the fillet and the top of the mouth are reserved. The hydria sits on a separately-made stand (79.AE.144.2).
