Cup with a flat bottom and vertical walls, with three appendages at the height of the edge in the shape of an animal head, perforated to allow suspension. The decoration of the background, in “scratch” on a white engobe and enameled in brown, yellow and green, reproduces an ibex with long curved horns, hopping amidst ribbon-like vegetal motifs. The central image is surrounded by a large ring with dense crossed lines engraved. The internal walls are decorated with triangles and stylized plant motifs; the flat edge is decorated with alternately yellow and green triangles. The external walls are decorated with “saw tooth” friezes.
