Restored: completed with plaster, stuck together from several fragments. The upper parts of both handles were broken. On the left side of the left handle above the completion a 3 mm wide rectangular channel runs for a length of 1.2 cm. The end of the channel is round, indicating the position of the drill hole. A creamy material with a black surface is found in the channel, perhaps corroded lead. Opposite the channel there is an elongated plaster filling on the interior of the handle. On the right side of the handle there is no clear evidence of any other channel. Here, on the interior of the handle, plaster completion is visible running along the break for a length of 3.5 cm.
