Description (Physical description)
Hemispherical, with omphalos base; finely made of thin metal. The bowl was apparently first cast then finished on a lathe; lathemarks are visible on the outside. The metal is hammered out a little at the mouth to form a narrow rim, which is ornamented with little diagonal cubes. A very fine specimen.
