Description

Only one face is visible. One flat-band moulding may survive on the right. At the top is part of a panel formed by concentric punch-outlined rectangles with a coiled centre.

Discussion

This ornament is closely paralleled on Bothal 4, face A, where there are similar concentric rectangles of outline ornament. The crude work represents the end or a misunderstanding of a tradition.
