The well-polished exterior surface has lost 50% of its original sheen. This makes it difficult to differentiate between overall surface polish and possible horizontal polish ornaments. It is also 40% covered in corrosion of various colors. The internal surface is 30% covered in spindly white corrosion and features 40% slip flaking, but no evidence of Gegharot fire roasting. The cord pattern is rendered by pressing a raised area of clay with a linear tool. External surface show horizontal polish marks. The black slips are also slightly visible in the core section, while band one is highly mottled with different browns. Breaks are rough.
