介绍（中）	半透明淡黄绿色;手柄、应用的位和不确定颜色的轨迹。容器形状类似于四足动物。圆润，加厚的边缘，嘴唇略微张开;管状颈部向下弯曲和圆形，底部有工具凹痕;倾斜的肩膀;小圆柱体，加工成单独的球状截面用于头部;厚实的不规则底部，伸出形成口;小方形环形手柄应用于身体侧面。脖子上缠绕七次螺旋状;四条短腿，捏脚贴在身体上;耳朵在头上有两个长长的钉子，眼睛有两个小斑点。将手柄放在动物的背部以悬挂。脖子上有一段痕迹，一只耳朵和部分嘴巴缺失，都有风化的断裂; 身体暗淡、凹陷和彩虹色，在应用的手柄、钻头和痕迹上具有厚厚的奶油状彩虹风化。人们花费了大量的时间和精力将这个实用的瓶子变成一件有趣的艺术品。容器的身体是动物头部和身体的形状，颈部被塑造成上翘的尾巴。耳朵和脚被添加为装饰，在这个矮小的生物的背部有一个悬挂环，它可能被确定为可食用的dormouse，一种深受罗马人喜爱的美味佳肴。
介绍（英）	Translucent pale yellow green; handle, applied bits, and trail of uncertain color. Vessel shaped to resemble a quadruped. Rounded, thickened rim with slightly outsplayed lip; tubular neck that curves down and round with tooling indent at base; sloping shoulder; small cylindrical body, tooled in to form separate globular section for head; thick irregular bottom, tooled out to form mouth; small squared loop handle applied to side of body. Trail wound seven times in a spiral around neck; four short legs with pinched feet applied to body; two long applied bits on head for ears, and two small blobs for eyes. Handle on animal's back for suspension. One section of trail on neck, one ear, and part of mouth missing, all with weathered breaks; dulling, pitting, and iridescence on body, with thick creamy iridescent weathering on applied handle, bits, and trail. Considerable time and effort have been taken to transform this utilitarian bottle into an amusing work of art. The vessel’s body is in the shape of an animal’s head and body, and the neck has been fashioned as its upturned tail. Ears and feet have been added as decoration, and a loop for suspension rests atop the back of this diminutive creature, which may be identified as the edible dormouse, a delicacy much loved by the Romans.
