Decoration
On the interior, the decorations only remains as traces that are too faint to be certain of the design. There seems to be one upturned triangle filled with two chevrons, connected to another similar triangle further to the right; these motifs may possibly be a tripple, continuous zigzag instead. There may be a small, downturned triangle between them, but it could be a different motif.
