A (broad): The shaft is edged by a single roll moulding which encloses a diamond-shaped interlace with fine open strands.
B (narrow) and C (broad): Built in.
D (narrow): Part of what seem to be two registers of closed circuit pattern F with a glide, within a single roll moulding.
This fine-stranded open interlace develops in Yorkshire at the end of the Anglian tradition (see Waberthwaite: Collingwood 1927, fig. 134; Walton: ibid., fig. 65; Collingham: ibid., fig. 31; and Hauxwell: Okasha 1971, pl. 51). The diamond-like layout of the strands may have been based on the medallion scroll rather than interlace, but since it is incomplete, it is difficult to be certain.
