At each side is a damaged edge moulding (Collingwood's cable is no longer apparent). Within the panel are disorganised diagonal and lying strands, with a saltire locked by a ring near the centre. The long strands have simple loops near the edges of the panel. Between the ring and the strands are undecorated lobe-shaped areas. The surface undulates.
The cabled edge and the (?) small animal head of Collingwood's drawing can no longer be seen. The free ring is an Anglo-Scandinavian feature though the work is rustic; compare Forcett 2 (Ill. 252).
