Le manche cylindrique est terminé par un panneau rectangulaire à l'extrémité arrondie, dont les motifs gravés en chevrons encadrent les trois visages - aux traits marqués - taillés en losange. Belle opposition entre la finesse de la ciselure et la puissance expressive des visages stylisés. Patine brune, brillante par endroits.
