Description

Black basalt. The urn-shaped pot stands on a circular foot. It has a projecting parapet at the top, a curved spout, and a loop handle with a leaf-shaped restrainer at the top to prevent the domed cover from falling off. The cover has a flat circular knob which is pierced by a central hole.
