A (broad): Two registers of simple pattern E with median-incised strands, enclosed in a grooved cable moulding, with a plain horizontal divider below.
B (narrow): Two double circles with single opposing diagonals. These are enclosed in a grooved cable moulding, which is worn on the left edge.
C (broad): Three registers of simple pattern E with median-incised strands.
D (narrow): Two double circles with single opposing diagonals. The lower has been pointed as if it were a spiralled half pattern A and is enclosed in a grooved cable moulding with a plain horizontal divider below the panel.
This shaft seems to be copying the single elements of 2 at one point. It also seems to show less understanding of interlace organization than 1. The ultimate origin of this type of ornament is perhaps Lindisfarne (see also nos. 3 and 4).
