The lower contains a worn cruciform single-strand ring-knot surrounded by interlace. The upper shows the lower portion of a figure wearing a pleated garment. The right edge has an inscription in half uncials which may be read downwards as ESILLI (?) MAR:QUENO. It has not been translated. The left edge and the back are plain.
