The lid combines a rooftop form with a gable, and an altar form with volutes. The gable is framed by a twisted band, and at the top, with a row of dentils as well. Within the gable frame, two birds drink from a bowl. In the corners are shells from which lions' heads protrude. There is a flower in each of the volutes. In the spandrels between the gable and volutes, palmettes. On top of the roof, leaves and fruits. A strip runs along the ridge of the roof, and another divides the two sides. (Description after Koch and Wight 1988)
