These hooked arm scrolls alternate with a panel filled with negative and backward S-shaped elements. The panels are separated from each other by either upper and lower triangles that are connected with a single vertical line, or by excised triangles and an excised vertical line with one excised spur (that helps to form part of the negative S-shaped element).
