Patera or phiale is a low bowl with vertical, slightly twisted walls and a narrow horizontal rim protruding inward. In the center there is a round, flattened omphalus. A frieze of 13 deity heads and alternating palmettes is around it. The face has a natural shape with large features, long hair is combed back, the front strands turn into moon-shaped shoots. The neck line passes into the lower twisted volute of the palmette. On the inner side the frieze is bordered by a smooth, narrow ridge. On the outer side it is bordered by two ridges with oblique notches imitating a rope. Along the outermost ridge a row of dots are punched at different distances from the outside. Its reverse side is smooth and with an indentation in the shape of an omphalus in the center.
