The bowls (four surviving, one missing) are evenly spaced around the ring and joined at their rims where they touch. There may have originally been three tiers, although only two remain. The second tier is represented by merely one high-footed cup, which sits on the join of two bowls from the lowest tier. The base is constructed of a ring of solid clay.
