Hemispherical shaped basin with two symmetrically arranged mobile rings. A raised braid pattern runs across the foot and center of the body. The agemina decoration has three registers. The upper band alternates geometric shapes with stylized sinuous dragons. The central band shows four pairs of dragons facing each other: on the two central faces they are separated by a circle with three internal vortex “commas”. The lower face has two rows of small alternating dragons.
