The surviving decoration forms part of an interlace design, the original extent and nature of which is uncertain, but may have been a simple turned pattern. On the left-hand side is a length of roll edge moulding.
The fragmentary nature of this piece means its original decorative scheme and date cannot be identified with certainty. However, the surviving interlace is typical of that found in Anglo-Saxon sculptural art, for example at Bakewell (e.g. Bakewell 28), and it is thus reasonable to include it here.
