DECORATION: The rim has an engraved motif that is repeated seven times around the vessel.

These engraved circles have a small internal circle with excised rays. The scroll dividers are excised brackets with negative backward S-shaped elements. A white clay pigment has also been rubbed in the engraved lines.
