Son fond est arrondi, son diamètre maximal est de 1,27 m. et sa capacité est de 1100 litres; l'épaisseur moyenne de la paroi varie entre 1 et 1,3 mm, et l'on n'arrive pas à déceler de soudure. Le pied est une pièce coulée d'un diamètre à la base de 74 cm et pèse 20,2 kg. Il est décoré de motifs classiques de végétaux stylisés. Les anses, fonte de bronze d'un poids de 46 kg chacune. En forme de volutes d'une hauteur de 55 cm, elles sont richement décorées de gorgones grimaçantes et tirant la langue. La frise des hoplites décore le tour du col. Huit quadriges conduit par un aurige de plus petite taille, suivant la règle d' isocéphalie nécessitée par la composition, sont suivit chacun par un hoplite à pieds en armes. Cette frise est un chef-d'œuvre du bas-relief grec. Le couvercle, feuille de bronze martelée de 13,8 kg, couvrait l'ouverture du cratère, et en son centre, s'élève une statuette en bronze de 19 cm de haut, représentant une femme.
