A (broad): On the left a broad tendril turns to a volute tip. Three incised arcs meet it from above. To the right are two loose, wormy elements of modelled strand with a single pellet.
B (narrow): A wing-like motif has a scroll joint and two incised arcs.
A debased piece. The tendril resembles the angel's wings on Nunburnholme 1 (Ill. 724) and Newgate 1 (Ills. 342–6). The scroll is typical of Anglo-Scandinavian taste. The interlace is so crude that one cannot safely follow Collingwood's comparisons with Cumbrian examples (1909, 208).
