short and broad shape 
connecting the neck of 
the animal-head with the 
bow. Inthe later varieties, 
on the contrary, another 
combination is seen nearly 
without exception; the 
facetted stem being here 
replaced by a flat plate 
which is often provided 
with lower wings pro- 
jecting on both sides and
