Each face bears the upper part of a cross without a circle. The cross shaft bears a double twist interlace which extends into the arms and head before terminating in diagonal, interlaced rings. Another more complicated form of twisted interlace appears in the panel to the right of the shaft, whilst to the left the panel is occupied by a runic inscription. Above the right arm a man in a buttoned tunic and helmet, armed with a sword, holds a horn to his lips; above him flies a bird. This is popularly identified as Heimdall. As foretold by Hyndla, Heimdall blows a great horn to summon the gods to the great conflict at Ragnarok. The remains of the inscription has been translated as, \'..his son, but raised another..\'); 穢 Manx National Heritage ; British, out of copyright.
