The lozenge-sectioned neck, which projects sharply upwards, is slotted on the underside to accommodate the ends of the rowel.The rowel box turns sharply downwards. There are projection on both sides of the slot, both just above the rwoel pin holes and above the hunction of box and neck. The neck and outer surface of the sides are decorated with engraved curlicues and punched crescents and annulets.
