The width of the each side of the frame gradually increases towards the outer side, where there is a pin rest consisting of three grooves which extend horizontally inwards from the outer edge. The surface of the frame slope downwards and outwards, and the inner faces are steeply angled. The axis bar is of subtriangular section.Length: 34.6mm; width: 29.3mm; thickness: 2.9mm.
