Crafted from terracotta earthenware, the rounded body tapers to a narrow foot. It has a slightly flared rim finished with two loop handles.The upper portion is glazed in a rich golden ochre, while the lower section is left unglazed - a practical design choice to allow the pot to be buried in the cool earth for preservation.
