Decoration

The exterior is decorated with three birds, two facing right and one looking in the opposite direction, within a wide panel formed by circular bands on the upper part and a thick band round the base. The birds are drawn in outline and hatched with vertical thick and thin lines, their wings slightly outstretched. The interior is decorated with a spiral on the base, a panel of a horizontal row of latticed triangles and a series of two parallel vertical wavy lines in-between the spiral and the latticed triangles; two thin parallel bands above it and a pattern of joining triangles and a thick band below the rim. Brush strokes at two points in the triangle band. Sets of two vertical parallel wavy lines pending from the rim in reddish brown paint.
