A warm brown woven vessel tapers from wide shoulders down to a narrow base. Dark brown repeating motifs decorate the ribbed surface, depicting human figures with outstretched arms and antlered animals facing right. Concentric squares and four-armed hooked crosses are staggered across the exterior. These figures and geometric patterns wrap entirely around the rounded body, following the fine horizontal weave that textures the surface beneath a short neck.
