Commentary
La classe Ie a la caractéristique d’avoir un bandeau torsadé et une mèche parallèle au bandeau en retombant sur la nuque. Au revers, les deux annelets périphériques ne sont pas joints à l'annelet central qui surmonte la hampe mais les pattes du sanglier reposent dessus.
Class Ie has the characteristic of having a twisted headband and a lock parallel to the headband falling on the nape of the neck. On the reverse, the two peripheral rings are not joined to the central ring which surmounts the shaft but the boar's legs rest on it
