This part of the stem is rectangular in section and is decorated by incised lines in the shape of an X across the surface of the stem. The stem then narrows to a more usual stem shape and is circular in section.The bit is square and has two equal clefts (or teeth), on the same side of the bit, which have now been filled in by corrosion.
