At the top of the face is a very worn strip containing one downward point of a chevron. A raised median-incised transverse moulding separates this from a second strip which carries a run of three chevrons, roughly hacked but with grooved edge mouldings. Below is a recessed panel containing the middle section of a four-cord plain plait in median-incised strand. The pattern is open and the strand broad. Beyond this is a narrow uncarved area.
A rustic piece, its chevrons may have derived from the tegulation of hogbacks. The openness of the plain plait is unlike neighbouring interlace which is closely woven.
