Roughly conical hand-built ceramic case (part a) with a rectangular hole cut out near the base. A well fitting cover (part b) for the opening has holes in the corners matching holes on the vessel. The orange ware vessel has many small scale geometric designs of hooks and frets in lengthwise rows which are painted in black on a neutral slip base. One third of the surface, opposite to opening has no design. Nipple-like projections on base and tip of cone.
A hand-built ceramic with a central cylindrical spout surmounted by a ring handle. Vessel form may be a stylized rodent. Surface colour is predominantly orange with traces of fugitive negative decoration. Residue of white and orange may be slip decoration. Facial features, including eyebrows and nose, are modelled and incised. Vessel is thick walled and paste is coarse; patches of clouded grey from incomplete firing. Many cracks and breaks, reassembled with glue.

The single central spout has a flaring rim and the base has a flared foot. Bands and wave-like designs, made by cutting away the background, encircling the spout and the vessel just below the wing line. Two perforated lugs flank the spout. Faint traces of red and black paint and geometric designs on body. Some chipping on rim.
