A dark brown and warm orange earthenware vessel tapers to a flat base and flares at the rim. The lower half is solid dark brown. The upper register features black-outlined figures in red, tan, and cream. Two vertical, square-headed forms face outward above a profile animal with bared teeth. To the left, a cream-colored scale pattern wraps the side, separated from the base by a thin white band.
