Probably originally decorated on both wide faces and the sides, but all four faces are badly worn making this difficult to ascertain.
A (broad): Decorated with a rounded edge moulding surrounding the central area, which may have been decorated but this is unclear; only one strand of a probable interlace has survived by the armpit which may have surrounded a central boss.
B (narrow): Indistinct due to weathering and wear; tool-marks appear to survive.
C (broad): Like A this is decorated by a rounded edge moulding; the central area is too worn to decipher any further carving.
D (narrow): This face is too worn and weathered to identify any decoration.
