An animal is depicted, likely a hare withtucked-in legs and flattened ears, though it is difficult to identify clearly due to theearthy and calcareous deposits.
All around, in relief, undulating patterns representing waves; the handleis vertical and rounded, highlighted by three incised lines; two filling holesare drilled into the central medallion to pour in theand, toward the front, a large hole for the wick.
Below, a doublering in both incised and raised relief.
