A (broad): A single roll moulding marked by a neatly punched line survives, enclosing a single volute terminating in a rosette berry bunch. Part of another strand, possibly with a small pointed leaf, may be discerned at the top left and what may be the main strand of the scroll, bottom right.
B (narrow): Broken away.
C (broad): A plain tooled surface.
D (narrow): Plain and smooth.
This is a piece of rather different style from the other Lowther scrolls and could be perhaps a side-linked scroll. In view of the tooled surface of the back (face C) and the smooth face of D, it is at least a possibility that this was not part of cross but of some architectural feature.
