A (broad): To the right, the reconstructed fragment has the remains of a slightly curved feature with a flat, dressed surface. This is adjacent on the left to a carving of complex but indeterminate nature.
B (narrow): The fragment on the far right (c, RF 1153) preserves some carved features, too worn to be deciphered.
C and D: Broken
Viewed horizontally, A can only have come from one of the broad faces of the shaft of 1/i. If set at a steep angle, however, a location on one of the narrow faces might be possible particularly if B slopes inwards in relation to A when the latter is viewed horizontally, but this seems unlikely. The general impression is of sinuous patterns comparable to 1/iB: the carving on 1/iiA seems, for example, to bear some relationship to the flat median-incised strand on fragment e attached to 1/iB.
