Bowl (wine cooler) with scalloped rim. Round the foot two bands of relief ornament of beads and leaves. Two handles in the form of sphinxes. Earthenware covered entirely with a presumed tin-glaze. Painted in the bowl: a scene of Moses with the spring where he struck the rock, behind him people with vessels for water. Above a frieze of winged putti, merpeople and other figures, also medallions with cameo scenes each held by winged putti.
