The surface of this flat-bottomed cup bears a beige slip on which painted decoration has been applied. This decoration consists of a frieze of rectangular panels alternately containing a stylised life sign and two four-leaved floral motifs, themselves placed inside two superposed horizontal rectangles. These designs are orange-red, surrounded by brown and framed by a brown double line. The base of the vase, still visible here, bears the representation of an Isis knot painted with a brown line.
