It features a yellow band flanked by green lines around the edge and lower part of the body. In the central area of the body, three identical representations of the Bird-Fish are painted.

Made with red clay, shaped on a pedal-powered wheel, and its surface smoothed with a leather cloth. The walls are pierced with a punch. The kiln used is the "open kiln." It consists of two parts: the firing chamber, where the pieces are stacked, and a boiler in which the fuel is introduced. After the first firing, it is taken out of the kiln to be glazed and painted, after which it is placed back in the kiln.
