There is a long pipe flow near the neck on the upper abdomen side, which is an oblique mouth. The other side of the belly is provided with a cow’s head. There is a half ring ear between the upper part of the head and the mouth edge, which should be used as the connection with the cover. The neck decoration looks back at the Kui dragon pattern. The long stream is decorated with triangular cicada patterns, and the cow head is decorated with cloud patterns. There are three X-shaped male reinforcing ribs visible at the outsole.
