The bow head and upper portion of the bow is decorated with a moulded ring and dot design, one on each side, with two high-relief ridges in the centre. At the apex of the bow there is an acanthus which is formed of wide horizontal ridges. The lower portion of the bow is decorated with a fine central vertical ridge, with a fine wavy ridge either side.
