On the right is a modelled edge moulding. Within the panel is a human figure with round head and shoulders. The eyes are circular. Next to him is what seems to be the remains of a second head with similar eyes and gouged mouth. Above this pair is an angular feature with a semicircular one which together may have been an animal.
There is little to analyse, but similar pairs of figures are found further north, for instance on Forcett 2 (Ill. 252).
