Rectangular crossbar curved and decorated near narrow ends with a row of zigzags carved in relief. A wide strip has broken off the length of the front. Lugs are roughly square blocks. Two short rectangular pillars, curving inward at centre, rest on a flat horizontal rectangle which is decorated on the front and back edges with incised rectangles. This in turn rests on three short roughly rectangular pillars. The outer pillars widen at the base and the inner pillar is decorated front and back with four rounded horizontal pleats. The base is two flat circles linked by a triangle at front and back. All edges flare outwards towards the ground.
