Commentary
Cet exemplaire de la classe Ie2 est assez difficile à dsitinguer de la classe Ic3 ; la seule nuance réside dans la présence de la hampe sur laquelle est posé l'annelet central qui ressemble plus à une goutte renversée dans la classe Ic3.
This example of class Ie2 is quite difficult to distinguish from class Ic3; the only nuance lies in the presence of the stem on which the central ring is placed, which looks more like an inverted drop in class Ic3
