Arm, type E10, possibly with ring, type 1(a). As it is broken at both ends, it is difficult to decide which arm it is. Carving only on broad faces which are surrounded by a wide flat-band moulding.
A (broad): Part of a ring-chain (G.I. fig. 26, cv).
C (broad): Possibly a leaping animal with a long ear extension, or conceivably a plant form.
The vertebral pattern or ring-chain is unlike that on 3 and 6, and more like some patterns in the north-west, notably at Lancaster (Collingwood 1927, fig. 171). This piece provides another link between Sockburn and the north-west (Introduction, p. 30).
