Description

The upper part of the body is decorated with a design of stamped circles. Below the decoration there is a concave area of the body, then a gentle convexity before the body slants inward to a pointly disc base. The design consists of three panels of large circles bordered by smaller circles. The big circles are divided into quadrants and small dots fill each segment of the arc.
