Wide, shallow bowl without a foot. Two plain, lateral, fixed handles. 

 On the edge of the bowl, bead and egg patterns. In the center, surrounded by 

 bead and leaf patterns, a circular relief. A helmeted male figure faces to left, 

 supporting his left foot on a rock and resting his left elbow on his left thigh. 

 His one garment is thrown off; it passes around his left arm and falls on the 

 further side of his left leg. At his right side is his shield, resting on the ground. 

 His lance and sheathed sword must be thought of as grasped by his invisible 

 right hand. Facing him is a female figure seated on a rock. She wears a tunic 

 and mantle and holds some indistinct object (libation-bowl ?) on her knees.

 pointed ears and crowned with ivy leaves and berries.
