Description

A (broad): Cross-hatched tooling with mortar attached.

B (narrow): Broken.

C (broad): Remains of outer wide flat-band moulding and inner flat-band(?) moulding alone survive.

D (narrow): Part of a panel of interlace set in a broad outer flat-band moulding and inner roll moulding. The panel, of which only one side survives, is badly centred. Closed circuit turned pattern D, but with one pattern unit of the simple form.

Discussion

The hole points for the laying out of the design on this face were marked out regularly, but the sculptor has taken strands between holes and caused registers to be out of step.
