What may be a coil of plant-scroll with a curling tendril is surrounded by a wide incised border, and an indefinite plain outer area. On the right is a protrusion.
Collingwood, who apparently never actually saw this fragment, suggested 'perhaps a piece of a shrine tomb' (1907, 337). He gave no reason for this, but the guess was probably based on the fact that the frame for the scroll tapered and appears to be angled, and the uncarved area which surrounds the panel is obviously part of a wider feature. No definite function can be suggested for this piece, but no. 7 may have been part of the same object (D.C., pers. comm.).
