The pot is in the form of a barrel. The lip is straight, broken, and has two pairs of holes at the edge for hanging. Its surface is black, sealed, polished, and split into four sectors which are intermittently decorated with red okra and lit white paint triangles. The sectors are separated from each other by a pair of vertical lines resembling waves. The lid is round, grooved, decorated by four triangles equally composing a cross image. In the intersection of the wings of the cross, there is a hole.[1][2]
