le manche droit surmonté d'un personnage féminin assis en califourchon, les mains posées sur l'abdomen. Très belle dynamique des lignes, jouant sur l'imbrication de la longue verticale du manche et des strictes diagonales des membres anguleux et de la lame en fer transperçant le manche. Ce dernier est entièrement orné de sections alternant fils de cuivre enroulés en spirale et têtes de clous, se prolongeant sur la ceinture du personnage, comme pour mieux l'unir à l'arme. Patine d'usage profonde.
