The oblong shape of this specimen is given by its piriform body which gradually narrows towards the flat base. The shoulder is underlined at the top by an almost horizontal plane, onto which the short and curved neck is grafted, with an everted edge with an external edge. The shoulder and upper part of the body are decorated with the small rhombuses with three diagonal strokes directed alternately to the right or left. The rest of the vase is instead printed with large lozenge motifs, of 3-4 cm each, made up of alternated horizontal and vertical streaks.
