Very elegantly shaped vase with a conical body and a tubular neck flaring out like the corolla of a flower. The common buff-coloured clay was covered with a red-ochre slip and then burnished. The striations created by the burnishing action are part of the vessel's decoration.  The vessel form is rare in Nubia; a single example has been found at Sai until now.

Vase très élégant par sa forme: une panse conique complétée par un col tubulaire qui s'évase en corolle à l'ouverture. La pâte, commune, chamois, a été recouverte d'un engobe ocre rouge puis polie. Les stries du polissage participent au décor. Cette forme est rare en Nubie. Un seul exemplaire a été trouvé à Sai jusqu'à présent.
