The exterior above the contraction is glazed brown and this extends into the top of the interior where it stops at a irregular horizontal blue line. On opposing sides there is a small roughly oval reserve painted with a stylized plant motif in brown with a blue splodge for a flower. There are blue markings round the top (possibly a blue line which has run)
