The tall thin ovoid body narrows towards the bottom and sits on a flat brown ring base. The shoulders slope in sharply to a low narrow neck and a trumpet mouth. The small vertical handle is attached at the neck and shoulder. The scene on the jug is in black and brown and contains a centaur, with bearded head, wearing a close fitting cap.
