- Description
-
The ceramic vessel has a narrow base and a relatively narrow opening, but a relatively wide middle. It has a light grey field. The band one shoulder and the neck is decorated with two iterations of a design consisting of a red arrow-like element in the center enclosed in an oval of black semicircles. There are two vine-like elements from the bottom of the oval with red triangles and leaf-shaped outlines with a red dot. Either side of design has a red triangle at the upper corner and a red tulip-like flower at the lower corner.
The body of the pot is decorated with a row of downward pointing triangles on the widest portion and upward pointing triangles from the base. The triangles alternate black or orange and have a contrasting stripe down the center.
