The label has raised eyelets, to which the chain is attached, and the top comes up to a very defined central domed section.
This is the first time we have seen this label design which is also illustrated in "Hester Bateman" by David Shure on Plate XLI, bottom row middle figure. An extract from Shure's book is attached.
