Plate of fine black fabric. The interior is smoothed while the exterior bears complex decoration consisting of a combination of incised and impressed designs accentuated with white paint. The main elements of this design are a spiral ribbon design, a series of parallel lines which emphasise the outline of this design, and a frieze of horizontal lozenges immediately beneath the lip.
