- Physical description
- Small vase in the shape of a helmeted head of a warrior. The cheek-pieces are black with a red border. The "crest" of the helmet is a ridge with a vertical projection at the front, below which the circular front-piece above the forehead is decorated with an incised palmette. The warrior's eyes are large and almond-shaped; there is a small moustache. The vase mouth is at the top of the head, decorated with dots.
