There is wear-damage to the outside of the neck near the head, suggesting the place of the pin hinge. There is further damage at the outside base of the neck where it meets the body.The body is highly decorated. There is a central panel that runs 'veritcally' with 3 logenze-shaped cells. The logenzes are filled with yellow enamel, and the triangular cells between the logenzes and outer border are filled with red enamel. To either side of the central panel is a swash N, with red enamel in the lobes and yellow enamel in the roundels. The void cell between the central panel and the swash N shapes has traces of blue enamel.
