The E face of the shaft has two badly executed panels of interlacing, the upper one with snakes and dragon in combat. The head has a badly executed Crucifixion with winged figure above. The W side has Christ in Glory, while the panels on the shaft have interlace and patterns of angular fret and knot. The N and S faces have similar panels of interlace and spiral ornament.
