This design is called "Geo" (short for "Geometric"). Around the shoulder runs a frieze of concentric ovals in rectangular compartments. This frieze is interrupted by five groups of vertical yellow lines connecting neck to foot. Both are emphasised by a yellow stripe. On the body, the outermost lines of each group widen into a band with a pattern of scales. The same scale shape is repeated several times, as a single motif, at the bottom of the line groups. The line groups meet at the top.
