A miniature kyatos with a flat bottom and a bowl whose walls widen diagonally almost halfway up and then become vertical. At the break in the walls a sharp protrusion remains on the outer side, making the diameter of the upper part smaller than the lower. The vertical handle is strongly extended upwards, attached to a protrusion on the body and to the spout, with a crossbar above the spout's edge. On the outer side the handle has a ribbon shape, then from the top widens inward with an undercut above the spout. The undercut is decorated with engraved vertical lines. Engraved lines are also found on the bottom arranged in a grid and under the base of the handle in the shape of the letter X. The upper surface of the rim on the body is decorated with diagonal engravings; the lower part of the vertical walls with recessed dots, the two rows separated by a horizontal engraved line. Early 7th century BC, Caere; vessel; height 6.3 cm, width 7.7 cm., A small sculpted object sits on a smooth surface against a neutral background, showing a rounded base with a wider rim and an upright central element that tapers slightly toward the top; the object appears worn and textured with a mix of earthy browns, muted reds, and darkened areas, and its surfaces show variations in tone and subtle weathering.
