Only the upper face carries decoration.
A (top): The corner has a broad cabled edge moulding, containing the fragmentary remains of unidentifiable interlace. Some gesso survives on the edge moulding.
The fragment could come from either a flat slab or a shallow coped grave-cover, both very common in York.
