Full view of the east face with a centaur and other beasts in the top panel, notched rectangle and Z-rod below, Pictish beast below that, and mirror and comb at the bottom. The triangular notch two thirds up the right-hand side is later damage that follows a natural crack in the granite. The notch at the very base was there from the start and the sculptor or sculptors worked with it.
