Part of the broad disk base, and sides which slope outwards, and then inwards slightly towards the rim. In the centre is a blue asterisk surrounded by spots; on the sides, three blue circles, a row of crosses, two blue circles, a green circle, and an orange circle. The glaze on the reverse is uneven and may be over slip.
