The angle or point ofthe chevron is further ornamented with a pen `lant,j`, extended out upon the shield.

Below the shell c is an ornamental iigure, g, which is much like ajleur-dc-lfis.

Within the bead a, and about the shield and the ornaments c and g, the face of the handle is wrought or traced, as at h, to resemble what is denominated Swiss scroll-work.
