Notes on support and decorations'Four-footed burner formed by a cubical body with a foot at each corner. Two feet (or legs) are preserved, sub-triangular in cross section and apparently carved in the shape of a bull’s hoof. Due to breakage along the middle, only half burner survives. The thickness of the basin wall is fairly even and the rim is flat. The basin is well smoothed inside and preserves faint traces of red colour. Two sides are decorated with two rows of dentils 1 to 1.5 cm wide, alternating with two smooth bands. The third side is decorated by a smooth band that runs along the upper edge, and a parallel row of six dentils below. Three letters were engraved on what serves as the front of the object' (Fedele and Antonini 2021).
