On the outside, three plain black sides alternate with three sides decorated with a central angular geometric zigzag motif in a vertical arrangement, narrowing down towards the foot, and bordered with stylised flowers. On the inside, the same pattern is repeated on the top facets, but in staggered fashion; the bottom is plain black, finished with ochre slip.
