Applied decoration on bowl and flange. On bowl: register bordered at top by very thin turquoise trail wound one and three-quarters times around circumference and at bottom by very thin turquoise trail wound once; register contains two turquoise motifs, each shaped like figure 2, alternating with two similar purple motifs.
