Immediately above this lug is a second such lug containing the external chord, which holds in place the nine coils of the spring. The pin is missing. On top of the head, a short gap separates the uppermost lug from a ridge, the latter extending to the point at which the tapering, sub-rectangular-sectioned bow is broken.
