Large ring-based cup with narrow mouth and simple lip, made from a fine pink fabric. Two incised horizontal lines mark the location of the maximum diameter on the exterior, which also bears a geometrical pattern in white paint. This pattern is composed of two series of three vertical lines and two series of superposed horizontal flecks, the two motifs arranged alternately on the circumference of the vessel.
