A: This is the top of a panel with a fine roll moulding, top and right, enclosing two crossing beasts. The tensely outstretched neck of the creature on the right passes over the neck of the creature on the left, and the spindly legs of each creature clasp the neck of the other. The legs terminate in three toes. Other median-incised strands, probably their tails, cross through the legs and between their toothy jaws, to knot behind their heads. The heads of the beasts have a canine appearance with short muzzles, and round realistic ears which finish in a curl at the top of the neck. Their eyes are back-pointed with a prominent pupil. Their bodies are flat and metallic in appearance, covered with a herringbone pattern with a prominent midrib and outlined by a fine border. Enough of the body of the right-hand animal survives to show that the front legs spring from a bold circle of three concentric rings.

Although there have been suggestions that the two panels come from separate monuments, in my opinion their style of cutting and some details are so alike that they must be part of the same monument, possibly a cross-shaft. See Colerne 1b.
