Decoration
Two, possibly three concentric lines are painted on the rim, from which four designs of downturned chevrons hang. Three of these consist of a small group of chevrons at the rim and a larger group below, with a gap between the two; the small, upper groups have three, four, and five chevrons each, the lower, larger groups have eight and nine chevrons each. The fourth design only consists of a single group of eight downturned chevrons.
At the bottom of the vessel are two concentric lines containing two groups of chevrons pointing toward one another. From the external concentric line rise four upturned triangles filled with chevrons that connect at their tip with the extremity of the four lowermost downturned chevrons.
