Notes on support and decorationsThe animals are on a plinth. The object seems to present a concavity on the top, on the sides of a plain surface which ends in a gutter on the upper part of the frieze, between the bull's horns. Below the muzzle of the animal, there is a hole. A tenon is located on the upper surface, in the rear of the object.
