The exterior decoration consists of two preserved medium bands running below the handle zone. The handle zone is decorated with a frieze of birds. None are complete, but parts of at least four are preserved. Slight differences can be observed, so possibly from two sides of the same vase.
The interior is monochrome. The paint is thick and evenly applied, but fired unevenly brown to dark brown.
