The lower section of the ewer has the shape of a footed bowl with traceried engraved designs on the fullest part of the lower body. The traceried border in low relief is cut off.....handle.
The body rises to form a truncated cone supporting another cone on which sits the bull's head. At this juncture another border in low relief is decorated with a back-to-front Z design.
Decorative motifs are sparsely applied. A large roundel framed by thinly incised twin circles, engraved with dividers, is situated along the frontal axis under the bulls head. The roundel encloses a seated lion in left profile on scrolling ground.
The large roundel has two smaller ones either side; the proper left roundel frames a duck with its tail stylized as a trilobed palmette, the right-hand roundel depicts another duck (?). Both birds look inwards towards the bull.
Patina: dark to reddish brown, the olive hue of the alloy faintly appearing in spots.
