Decoration
The remains of the decoration are difficult to interpret. A curved line seems to limit an area filled with irregular crosshatching; there are two small protuberances net to one another, not dissimilar to the ears or eyes of a hippopotamus; it may therefore be part of an animal figure that would be facing left. In front of it is a single, large polka dot.
