Decoration
The decorative space is divided in four compartments. Two, on opposite sides, are filled with polka dots. The other two each contain a 'tassel-like' motif consisting of a straight line at the top, connected to a circular central part from which hang five wavy lines. Along the rim, in each of these two compartments, are three and four downturned chevrons. There are two concentric lines at the bottom of the vessel, one inside the other.
