The circumference of the head is flat on the top and double-beveled on the lower part of the wing. The base of the head widens into two half-discs. The stem is cylindrical and straight, with a flat underside. It is pierced by a rectangular opening at mid-height c. There are traces of filing on the faces of the head; the decoration is molded and adorns the head of the key. The head is flat, with a central element bordered by two downturned wings with pointed tips, only one of which is whole.
