The object appears silvery-gray with darker gray shadows in recessed areas and lighter highlights on raised edges. The surface shows a pattern of raised shapes and incised lines forming rows and separated by narrow bands, giving a layered, relief-like appearance. The outer rim is slightly irregular and darker than the center, and the object has an uneven edge with small dings and indentations.
