content: Ovoid vase with two handles that merge together and with the body of the form near the narrowed foot. A mascaron is carved at the point where the handles merge. On the outer side of the handles are two sirens. The foot of the vase is decorated with acanthus leaves, and has an egg and dart pattern at the bottom. The vase is elevated on a short, square base. The print is lettered but is missing the numbering found in earlier editions.
