The surviving lower arm appears to be part of a free-armed head, possibly of type B10. Both broad faces of the shaft are edged by a single flat moulding.
A (broad): The lower arm has three flat mouldings on both sides which follow the curve of the armpit. The inner two on each side return to form a double-outlined convex lozenge-shape, enclosing a single loose pellet at about the level of the widening of the arm. The outer mouldings curve back on themselves to form a rounded V-shape terminating against the side of the shaft below. This encloses further inner mouldings, following the same V-shape, two on the left and three on the right. The innermost moulding on each side encloses a loose pellet against the border. The shape formed at the centre of the base of the surviving piece suggests the start of a second lozenge.
B and D (narrow): These sides do not appear in the extant illustrations.
C (broad): This is almost identical to face A, except that the centre of the surviving lozenge seems to end in an angular spiral.
