The existing decoration is composed of two horizontal sections: the upper section consists of a cursive epigraphic band, the middle section of a sequence of interlaced trilobated arches. The trilobated arches, enclosing an incised rosette (?), alternate with vegetal motifs created by split-palmettes and fleur-de-lis. Upper stripe much corroded.
