A looped handle flank the sides of the neck, one handle is missing. One side of the chamber is decorated with four leaf clover arranged in a cross shape, with a smaller petal in each of the angles. The design on the reverse possibly depicts a single-masted sailing vessel. The hull of the possible vessel is crescent shaped with a cross-hatched interior and extended bowpost and sternpost. A D-shaped loop sits beside the bowpost and a reversed D sits before the sterpost, the gunwale can be seen projecting from the base of the D. In the centre is a single mast with a cordate shape loop near the top and rigging projecting downwards.Record NARC-575934 also depicts a sailing vessel and notes that ship shaped ampulla were associated with St Thomas Becket.
