One of the figurative sides of the object represents a central head, both animal and human, which seems to spit out two branches of foliage on either side. The two branches are placed symmetrically in relation to the face. The face is chubby, with large globular almond-shaped hemmed eyes. The nose, mouth and chin are human, while the small feline ears are separated by a sleek mane that hugs the brow bones. The plant stems have a small fruit under the chin of the face. The most extensive ornamentation consists of four wide campaniform palmettes, indented, ribbed, flared and bordered with festoons.
This face can be compared with the Namur tradition. Indeed, the bulging eyes resemble those of the prominent figures on the Beauvechain basins. In addition, the Tournais tradition can be seen here in the large campaniform palmettes, ribbed and festooned, which can also be seen on the baptismal font of the church of Saint-Armand in Spiennes, a town in the Walloon region.
