Cross-head of type 8 or 9B with expanded terminals. Both broad faces are bordered by a roll moulding.
A (broad): An inner moulding surrounds the ornament which consists of cruciform head-pattern type 3iib (but with concave arm-pits (see Fig. 7)).
B (narrow): Unornamented.
C (broad): At the centre is an encircled boss; from this an unornamented raised panel runs into each arm to form a cruciform shape which is surrounded by a moulding. In the upper arm there is a row of five pellets between this moulding and the border.
D (narrow): Unornamented.
Possibly linked to the spiral-scroll school, with which it shares a taste for a combination of encircled boss on one face and a cruciform head-motif on the other.
