The skew of the arms is very slight; but there is sufficient to show that it is of the non-return boomerang type - i.e. a skew in the opposite direction to the return-boomerang. B and D are below the plane running through the centre, A and E above it. The ends A, B, are curved below plane at centre C, and the end D, E, above plane at centre C.
