Decoration consists of a circular-sectioned terminal reel, after which the decoration is not fully rounded and there is a median arris internally, bead with engraved angled grooves, concave moulding, smaller bead with angled grooves, five irregular transverse grooves, three pairs of intersecting lines followed by a pair of transverse grooves, after which is a possible median arris defined by a groove to either side which peters out or has become worn, and a groove along either edge which continues to the break. The decorated terminal is slightly expanded.
