A white slip covers the interior and exterior surfaces. Inside, the sgraffito pattern in the circular field consists of a woman's figure shown full-face with outstreched arms,. She wears a long dress and a long veil, and has an embroidered kerchief or scarf over the left arm. To her right, small rosettes adotn the field, while the narrow border below the lip has tagential circles. On the outside, the rim is decorated with horizontal parallel lines that cut across a zigzag lline. The decorative theme is enriched with large splashes of brownhish-yellow and green paint. The vase is covered inside and out by a green glazing.
