This carries triangular recessed fields within a stamped border. Parts of three panels survive and all are gilded. The end panel is complete and contains a filling of cast beads made by deep oblique slashes in the mould, the other two are both damaged and the surviving fields are decorated with oblique raised slashes. The border and the strips between the recessed fields, are ungilt and carelessly stamped with impressions of a triangular punch to form an irregular ziz-zag. The impressions are inlaid with niello.
