Pieces combine to give a section of the floor and much of upper wall and rim. A bit of molding around top of missing stem remains. Wall straight in profile rising at a moderate angle. A prominent corded molding between upper and lower walls. Upper wall is also straight in profile set at an outward angle. The upper wall is decorated in low relief (from a cylinder seal?) with seated figured and standing figures in alternation.
