A bronze vessel with a bulbous body and wide neck features a curved handle arching from the flared rim to the shoulder. The dark brown surface is heavily textured and pitted, interlaced with a mottled patina of oxidized green that accentuates deep shadows. Patches of brighter green and reddish-brown corrosion scatter across the exterior, showing signs of wear. The rim's uneven edge and weathered surface emphasize the vessel's antiquity.
