The bow is decorated with a pair of low, longitudinal ridges in the centre above a flat raised plate acrooss the base of the bow, engraved with a pair of narrow, parallel grooves. The foot is decorated with a pair of narrow, transverse grooves in the centre of the upper foot, which is flat in section, and a raised panel below the catchplate.
