Description

Collingwood recorded a 'paw with five claws, well carved' (1907, 321).

Discussion

Appendix C item (lost stones for which no illustration has survived).

He thought this might have been 'part of a hogback bear', or possibly a fragment of Romanesque architectural decoration (ibid.). Type uncertain, but cf. Brompton 16–25 (Ills. 79–106), Ingleby Arncliffe 4 (Ills. 335–6) and Stainton 6 (Ill. 750).
