Between the creatures are two sets of two upraised vertical lines decorated with perforations. The pot is covered in an orange pigment, with a dark area of carbonization to one side.

Ceramic pot is composed of 2 cups attached by a short tubular neck at the midpoint and a high arching handle from rim to rim. The body of each cup is bulbous with a rounded base, and the rim is flared with an indented neck. Two thick legs, forked at the bottom, support each cup. One leg has been reattached with adhesive. When the pot is moved, a slight jingle can be heard emanating from one of the legs. A protruding animal is on each pot on the sides furthest from each other. Each has a triangular head with incised eyes and mouth, and curved arms with small round hands. The cups are also decorated with vertical, upraised, perforated lines, and several small protruding circles on the rims.
