Four pairs of parallel grooves divide the surface of the head into quarters, and a groove also extends around the base. The integrally cast shaft extends vertically downwards from the centre of the head's underside; it is of circular section, tapering to a sharp point. The top of the shaft is decoated by two bands of grooved rings, separated from one another by a notched, but otherwise plain, band.Length: 59.7mm; width (diameter of head): 13.2mm.
