Notes on support and decorationsOn the left of the inscription there is a vase carved in low relief inside a recessed panel. The grooved vase, with globular body, pointed base, high neck and triangular lid, recalls the two ones of CIH 420 and especially that one of RES 4666. It was probably a funerary slab of nfs¹ type.
