Above it, in three medallions, the allegorical figures of Faith, Fortitude and Justice can be seen. There are fruit ornaments between the medallions. The band of the cover has the same kind of ornamentation as that of the base. There is a cone in the middle of a ring emerging from the cover. The thumb-piece is a stylized palmette, and the handle is a female herm figure. The mark and the city mark are stamped on the bottom.
