The base of the bowl is decorated with charred or stained black areas and lightly incised lines; three thick lines to the left, one down the centre and two near the outer edge. The top of the handle widens out and terminates in a small carved animal with round ears and blackened areas extending below the eyes, around the muzzle, and down its front legs. There is a hole pierced through the top.
