Rim almost vertical, with plain, cracked-off lip; shoulder slopes; wall curves down and in. Narrow horizontal trail or trails wound many times around shoulder and wall; surviving part of wall has eight vertical ribs; between ribs, wall is recessed vis-a-vis shoulder, so that shoulder and ribs somewhat resemble an arcade.
