Below these, the bow flares out into a rectangilar plate with a wide, central, longitidinal rib witha groove and narrow rid at each side (also longitidinal). On the left and right sides of the rectangular plate is a side lug, each having a curved rib and then tapering into a smaller, rounded lug. Below the plate is the narrowed continuation of the bow.
