A (broad) : The edge moulding is broad. The panel contains two adjacent vertical runs of interlace in flat strand, both resolved at the base in bar terminals. The strip on the left has a bungled Carrick bend (pattern F) above a glide from the terminal. The right-hand strip is a ring-twist in glides. The cutting is picked work. Below the panel is a tenon-like projection which may be accidental and due to breakage.
B (narrow) : The arris is broad. The panel contains four-cord closed circuit interlace in slightly modelled strand. The base of the panel is incised.
C (broad) : Scabbled.
D (narrow) : Broken away.
Another free-hand piece with a wide range of Anglo-Scandinavian patterns. The weave of the interlace is typically dense.
