A dark brown ceramic vessel depicts a bird facing left, standing on a horizontal human head. The bird features a curved red neck, yellow hooked beak, and white and black patterned wings. Below, the head's yellow face has closed eyes and a red chin with white teeth. A bridge handle, connecting the bird's back to a straight spout, rises from the rear.
