Description

The drawing records parts of two adjacent faces. The more fragmentary carries a flat-band moulding and what may be part of an interlace strand, while the other, narrow, face, has a band of zig-zags with pellets regularly interspersed, between flat-band mouldings.

Discussion

This fragment may have been part of a cross-shaft, but the distinctive zig-zag and pellet ornament suggests that it is more likely to be associated with the gable finial (no. 9).
