At the top and bottom, a band of oval ribs framed by notched lines; hanging from the upper band is a repeating pattern of spirals. The stamped decoration is partially faint or no longer visible due to corrosion. The helmet is slightly dented and somewhat compressed on the sides. Stabilized from the inside with gauze and plastic.
