A oval shaped vase or figurine of green-blue faience, of which - in cross-section - half is shaped like a lion's head. Below the edge, in a recessed line, a brown-black, shiny decorative line runs. The powerful modeled lion's head is by means of lines in the same color accentuated with the mane, the eyes and eyebrows and the whiskers.

They seem to have clear Cypriot connections, but similar objects are exclusively
