The bowl on a low foot and horizontal handles, of laconic or Spartan production, presents inside the tank a composition of dolphins along the rim and tuna arranged in a radial pattern around a central rosette. The outdoor tub is decorated with birds rendered with an elongated body and long graceful back-facing neck. The figures are made with special paintings, engraved and savings, on a clear engobe.
Together with two other bowls, also decorated with tuna on the internal basin and coming from the same funerary context, it has been attributed to a refined ceramographer who took the conventional name of the Fish Painter from them.
