Description

One face only is visible. A raised central band is flanked by two rows of deeply cut zig-zags. The face is framed by a single roll moulding.

Discussion

There is no taper on this piece, so that, despite its close resemblance to 8 and 9, it may be an architectural fragment rather than a fragment of a cross.
