The decoration on the marli consists of a complex frieze. Near the rim, there is a narrow braid trimmed with two rows of staggered teeth. This is followed by a braid decorated with a row of interlocking V-shaped lines, then a broad line painted dark blue, on which rests a row of alternating tridents and solid cubes. The wall is decorated with a braid featuring a row of core ovals with radiating lines. The central decoration is encircled by a ring outlined in blue.
