Decoration
Long plant motifs occupy most of the height of the vessel. They each consist in a single stem short leaves on both sides, which rise vertically at first, before bending slightly to the right at the top. They do not start from the bottom not do they reach the rim, so that the upper and lower parts are left empty.
A narrow band on the interior of the rim is decorated with two concentric series of polka dots.
