The iconography refers to the funerary cult. Above it, on the neck, a female head which blooms from a flowers and tendrils, arranged on the main side. On the other side, a monumental head of a female with sakkos and on the neck a sequence of three palmettes. Under the handles, a large palmetta. Intact.
