Description
From the photograph in ECMS this appears to be the basal part of a small slightly tapering slab. There was no carving on the back of the slab, which suggests that it may have split in two, thus losing the cross-face, but ECMS does not give its surviving thickness. The fragment had a plain flatband edge-moulding and was carved in relief with a hunting scene: two horse-riders, two deer and two hounds.
Date range: ninth century.
Primary references: ECMS pt 3, 255; RCAHMS 2003.
