The vessel body has a nested diamond appliqued fillet motif repeated four times around the vessel. At the center of the innermost nested diamond is a small circular appliqued node with four punctations on it. The nested diamonds are also filled with brushing marks that follow the orientation of the nested diamonds.

The nested diamonds are separated from each other by upper and lower appliqued fillet triangles. The appliqued triangles are also filled with near vertical brushing marks. In the case of one appliqued triangle, only the outermost part has near-vertical brushing marks; the remainder of the appliqued triangle is open or undecorated.
