of the vase, between the two main sets of concentric circles, a peculiar geometric pattern
composed of a square with diagonals, a round dot at the middle of each of the semi-diagonals,
and a small semi-circle at the middle, inside, of each of the sides of the square ; outside of it,
perpendicular lines on each side, with concentric semicircles on the outermost ones. At each
side, still between the main sets of circles, a set of hanging pinnae.
