Further to the right is a small tree, and close to the handle, a taller tree flanked by low bushes. On the other side there is a tall tree flanked by plants next to the handle, and to the right, a woman holding a basin walking towards the tree. Behind her a heavily drfaped woman sacrifices at an altar, and a young man kneels beside it, holding down a sheep with his right hand. Behind him is a small tree and a low bush. A wreath of foliage encircles the junction of the spout and body and the upper end of the handle and body. The cover has a border of overlapping acanthus leaves.
