A translucent, cream-colored travertine vessel features a flared rim and wide neck rounding into a bulbous body that tapers to a small foot. Subtle horizontal banding marks the polished stone. Vertical and horizontal cracks web across the surface, mended with visible yellowish adhesive. One prominent repair line descends from the rim, crossing the left side and extending across the middle, tracing the vessel's reconstructed form.
