Notes on support and decorationsFragment of limestone stela (?) of unspecified size with a human figure in low relief. This figure is very schematic and roughly carved, with a large and flat face and a threadlike body; two short and hanging elements probably indicate the arms. The figure stands in front of a false window. The fragment's surface is darkened.
