Page 4 of 9 AGEN-PORT
Agen-Port 'A'
- A deep, rounded bowl with vertical sides, flaring into a brim at the lower edge. • Brim is narrow at the front, widening to almost twice the breadth to form the neck protection.
- Neck guard is embossed with two shallow steps to give greater rigidity.
- Above the brim (2-3 cm) is embossed a bold horizontal rib of triangular section, which completely encircles the bowl.
Agen-Port 'B'
- Bowl is similar to the 'A' type.
- There is no brim and only a very narrow peak at the front, formed by turning out the lower edge of the bowl.
- Embossed at the front is a pair of gently curving eyebrows of bold triangular section.
- At the rear, the skull is extended downward to the depth of the wearer's ears and is embossed with two bold horizontal ribs, below which the edge is flanged outwards to form a neck guard. The ends of the neck guard taper into the sides.
