initially rises in a smooth gently convex profile, which is maintained for the ribbed part of the lower body. The wall is essentially vertical by the time it reaches a pronounced shoulder located almost two-thirds of the way up. Due to the subsequent damage, this shoulder is not obvious from any casual inspection.
   Above the shoulder, the upper body presents a strongly concave profile, sweeping out to a well flared rim. Most of the upper body is ribbed, but the uppermost band returns to a smooth metal profile. Immediately beneath the rim is a row of sixty-two dots punched from the outside of the vessel and interrupted only at the ribbed handle.
