This bronze bottle has a short, well-defined neck and a body that tapers from wide shoulder that widens and then tapers to a pointed end. The two thin handles on the side of the neck are used as attachements for the rounded handle from which the vessel hangs. A bottle stopper hangs on a chain suspended from one of the handles.
