该容器完全由两块金属板锤击而成，中间用青铜铆钉连接。在报告技术中，从船的表面锤出了六个鸟类、树木、有角动物和跨步动物的记录。然后，这些尸体被一种钝工具精心地装饰着，当敲击时，这些钝工具会将金属推向两侧。追逐和再现的装饰与哈桑鲁（Hasanlu）被烧毁的堡垒中的象牙牌匾以及马利克（Marlik）丰富的墓葬中的金银器皿相似。这种装饰与希腊东部的野山羊风格陶器有着惊人的相似性，这表明希腊陶工对这种类型的近东陶器很熟悉。

This vessel was formed entirely by hammering two sheets of metal, joined in the middle by bronze rivets. Six registers of birds, trees, and horned and striding animals were hammered up from the vessel's surface in the repoussé technique. The bodies were then elaborately decorated with chased lines created by a dull tool that, when struck, pushed the metal to either side. The chased and repoussé decoration has parallels to ivory plaques from the burned fortress of Hasanlu and to gold and silver vessels from the rich burials at Marlik. The decoration has a striking similarity to Wild Goat-style pottery of eastern Greece, suggesting that Greek potters were familiar with this type of Near Eastern vessel.
