Description
The carving at the top of the lower portion (AS Corpus Woodhorn 01, fragment c). Description is: "surrounded by a fine roll moulding are a pair of affronted griffins. Their heads are bent back over their bodies. The back leg with its three-toed foot extends stiffly over the body of the other. Their front legs appear to form a joining angular loop. Plume extensions cross over and under their bodies and cross again in the centre, ending with an inturned curl."
