Plump jug on flat bottom; short narrow neck set off from shoulder by a ridge. Heavy rolled rim; broad strap handle with shouldering and rib down outer face. Brownish clay, partly glazed: thin chocolate brown glaze nearly to bottom of pot, interrupted by a narrow reserved band around wall.
Found with its cork fixed firmly in its mouth, it had, as noted in the original publication, presumably been let down into the well so that the contents might cool.
