The vessel has a high ridged handle, sharply angled at the top, with plastic animal heads on each side at the join to the mouth, which has a beaked spout. The body is bulbous, with a slender neck, and a short stem with the foot in two degrees. Body: woman running to left. She wears a sleeveless chiton with a black wavy border girt at the waist by a ribbon, a hair covering (kekryphalos), a stephane, jewelry, and shoes. A mantle is draped over her left arm. Her right hand grasps the double handle of a banded situla. In her left hand she holds a cista decorated with triangles of white. In the upper left field is a white fillet; in the lower left, a flower with details and stem in added white; in the field at right, an iynx (magic wheel). On the neck: egg pattern between two reserved lines; below: a band of white dots. On the lower part of the handle and back of the body, including the shoulder: a large palmette-fan with detached side-scrolls and half palmettes. Reserved stripe encircling lower body. Stem, top surface, and underside of foot: reserved. After Jentoft-Nilsen, M. R. and Trendall, A.D., CVA Malibu 3 (1990).
