Decoration
The decoration is difficult to identify in detail and the whole extent of the painted motifs is yet to be fully published. What appears to be a large plant consists of several straight leaves that curl downward near their tip. To the right are several parallel, vertical wavy lines, possibly to be understoos as a 'tassel-like' motif.
