From the Getty Museum record
The body and lid of the pithos contain geometric decoration. From the bottom, there are solid white rays, cross-hatched rays, a running wave pattern, two rows of alternating checked and red triangles, and solid white rays descending from the mouth. Each decorative frieze is separated by a set of three lines. The lid is decorated with sets of parallel lines, interrupted near the bottom by a guilloche pattern, and at the shoulder by a series of cross-hatched rays. All decoration in creamy-white slip on burnished red fabric.
