The fill hole is surrounded by a narrow discus and two raised concentric rings. Shoulder decoration: a zigzag pattern around the fill hole creating a radiating star; a raised ring encircles the rim. Nozzle decoration: one curved horizontal line crosses the nozzle below the wick hole. Between this line and the ring at the rim, an inverted palm branch, with perhaps another horizontal line beginning at the lower right arc of the wick hole.
