Characters: high-ranking man; anthropomorphic figures. Animals: felines. Grey-black specimen with traces of wrong cooking process. The vase has a distinct truncated cone foot. A relief disc is modeled on the top of the chamber. Two divergent truncated cone necks are connected by the ribbon-like handle, on which three anthropomorphic figures are applied. The central one, larger in size, represents a seated male character with relief and engraved facial features, a diadem with engravings depicting his feathers, an engraved gorget and hands on his belly; two anthropomorphic plastic figures with bodies in relief and heads with semi-lunar headdresses in the round are lying on the handle, on the sides of the central figure. At the base of the two necks there are two stylized zoomorphic elements, perhaps feline faces.
