tree framing a house and a river. On one of the sides the river is narrow and there is a human figure leaning over the waters. On the other where the river is wider there
is a small boat with a man fishing with a line. The lid is decorated with continuous scene similar to the body but the fisherman with the line is on the riverbank. The
spout and the outer surface of the handle are decorated with stylised plant forms.
