The bottom half of the dish is decorated with small bumps and lines. Inside the dish, at the narrower top, two small round bumps joined by a thin line. The bumps and line are centered. The bottom of the dish inside has small to medium-sized round bumps. The background around and behind the dishes is solid dark color.
