The decoration consists of a single row, on the external bevel, of elongated diagonal impressions stamped with a bone tool (bird-bone?) abd a double row of similar impressions forming a herring-bone on the internal bevel. Similar diagonal, similarly aligned rows of impressions decorate the three ridges flanking the twin shoulder-grooves and the neck is decorated with two horizontal rows of vertical, cord-impressed semi-circular loops.
