Slab-like shaft. The incomplete single panels on all faces were bordered by a roll moulding.

Spiral-scroll school (Introduction, pp. 33–8). The use of a central stem on face A links this stone to Haile 1. Since the two carvings have identical intervals between branching side-shoots it is likely that both were laid out on a similar grid or by using the same template.
