There are two scenes on this fragment. The one on the left shows a figure, whose head is missing, walking to the left. He
is clad in mail and has a straight broad-bladed sword.

| GeneralDescription |
On the right there is a man lying on his back and tied around the neck and right wrist. Above him there is the head, part

is thought to be a scene from the Sigmund saga.
