On the right-hand side is a very broad flat edge moulding, much damaged, and a narrow one on the left. The incised wavy line which Collingwood'saw has almost disappeared. Within the panel is very bold interlace in a broad fleshy strand in picked work. At the lower end the strands appear to split and the pattern above is illogical.
This is rough work and the split strand, which is unusual in Yorkshire, may be nothing more than illusory interlace complications.
