fiddlehead bow, the stemhead of a vessel finished off with a scroll turning
aft or inwards, as at the top of a violin. This form of stemhead was originally adopted in small sailing warships which had no
figureheads as a piece of simple bow decoration; the term has remained to describe the termination of a
clipper bow which has this inward-turning decorative ending.
