The decoration is divided horizontally in two by a moulded border. At the top, there is a central disc or globe, with the head and part of the body of a small dolphin to the left, and part of a horizontal anchor to the right showing a shank with terminal ring and one arm (tip). The stock is also faintly indicated, but because of the difficulty in representing it in its proper position at right-angles to the arms, it is shown in the same plane. Below this is part of a panel containing a lattice-pattern, with a geometric six-petalled rosette, and another circular motif in the field. This panel may either have formed the side of a water-tank, perhaps of a fountain, or possibly have been used as a section of a low screen, in a similar fashion to the decorated panels which formed a balustrade adjoining a fountain at Corbridge.
