Fifteen sherds were recovered from a pot, which was presumably the container. These allow the certain restoration in drawing of the profile and decoration of the vessel up to a height of 14.5 cm. This, in turn, permits the conjectural restoration of the whole vessel. The pot was made in a smooth pale grey fabric, which today can be seen only in a few modern breaks and chips. The soil conditions have stained all surfaces, including those with fractures, brownish. This fact indicates that the pot was broken long ago, as is also suggested by the survival of no more than perhaps 20% of the vessel. The outer surface of the pot was smoothed by the potter with the exception of a horizontal zone commencing 6.0 cm up from the base and 7.0 cm wide. A tooled line defined the zone at its upper edge, and the same tool created vertical lines down the untreated zone. Form, fabric and decoration all agree in suggesting that the pot approximates Gillam's Types 40 and 41, and the drawing restoration has been completed on that basis. The date range of those two types (AD 290-400) conforms to the deposition date of the hoard.
