A pale gray and reddish-brown ceramic vessel features a wide, rounded body tapering to a flat base and a short neck. Textured horizontal ridges line the lower half. On the shoulder, simple black ink drawings depict two stylized figures: one with a curved head and tall body, and another with pointed ears and a striped torso. Reddish-tan patches appear throughout the worn upper surface.
