Red-brown on cream. 3 thick concentric bands around the vessel. A thin, vertical line from the top band (actually begins in the band), and a tiny semi circle would have formed a panel motif. The interior is heavily encrusted and unslipped, except for a band a red paint at the bottom. Red fabric. Small scratches and pits.
