The flairing rim is decorated with groups of parallel strokes, of which two are still partly visible (10 strokes on the left, 6 strokes on the right) and by a concentric line on its edge.
On the exterior surface, three groups of four, six, and at least five parallel lines are preserved; they do not all have the same orientation, with one being more or less horizontal, the others more oblique.
