The decoration is made with the "globular style", that represents figures with great globular hollowed masses, one next to the other, using the drill. Details are not depicted, legs and arms are expressed with segments and little globes. Figures made with this technique are chematic, not well defined. The contrast between hollow parts, in shadow, and the polished one, creates an effective contrast, so that makes us thinking of a decorative function, instead of being a stamp.
