Freehand tendril design in black line on a yellow ochre background, side-shoots from tendrils have flowers in red or ochre. Pattern originally extended across the studs. Lower border of a horizontal scroll with red flowers between two horizontal lines: below a dado of plain yellow ochre.
Date uncertain - probably early 17th century.
