Along the long sides of the bowl are two series of six and five parallel zigzags; each series ends with a vertical line at both extremities. At each extremity of the vessel is a circle with short strokes on its outside, perhaps to be understood as a floral motif (?). There are two crosshatched triangles in the bottom pointing toward the same long edge of the vessel.
