An oblong bowl with two carved pigs for handles (one on each end). The upper lip of the bowl has a pattern of "U" shaped gouges running along it, some of which are filled with lime. On the outer walls of the bowl, there are small carvings of angular lines in the middle of each side. One of the pigs is upside down. The upside-down pig is slightly larger than the other, and both have carved “U” shaped patterns on their surface.
