Bronze jug of unusual model. The abdomen is double-conical, the upper half is twice as high as the lower half. The edge is first sideways, then bent upwards. The ear, of which solde traces on the edge are still visible and the onset on the shoulder in the form of a helmeted man's head with beard is still present, has disappeared. One sees a horizontal groove on the neck under the edge and two horizontal grooves on the upright part of the edge. On the bottom there are 4 concentric pivots and 3 small, soldered, ornamentally sawn out plaques (of which only the solder traces are still present
