Fork-necked vessel in the shape of a platform with man

The lower part of the vessel has the shape of a cuboid and is painted with a white painted with a white wave band on a red background, symbolising water or rivers. On a naked male figure with outstretched legs sits on this platform. He is leaning against leaning against a kind of wall and looking upwards. The spout of the fork-necked vessel is broken off.
