Around the body runs a wide horizontal frieze with five stylised squirrels in different, dynamic poses, on a background of leaves and fir cones. This frieze is bordered by two black bands outlined with ochre slip. Both neck and foot have a frieze, outlined with a black band and ochre lines, and decorated with juxtaposed triangles, each with a stylised half-sun in the middle.
