The vessel is of a hemispherical shape, with a flattened side, a pronounced neck with a rectangular cross-section, and a slightly bent rim and collar transitioning to the neck. Closer to the flat side, two miniature looped handles are present at either edge. The wall is adorned with concentric lines, which smoothen towards the flat side. On the flat side, near the neck, an “n”-shaped mark and a Parthian-Aramaic inscription read: “Tiriburz” (“Exalted by the god Tire”) are etched.
