The body rests on a bell shaped base. Decorated: the shoulder is covered with small scroll [these are not scrolls but horizontal rows of chevrons--R. Elder] pattern in fine incised lines and the body with lines made around it with a comb-like tool; the base is perforated with three oblong trapezoid openings.
