Notes on support and decorationsIncense burner, with truncated pyramidal base, half preserved. The main face of its censer is probably decorated with the symbol of crescent moon and disc placed on triangular base, and vertical incised elements (false window?). On the contrary, Garbini (1973 c: 588) interpreted the central element as a bull's head with open horns.

NOTES

The object, after the examen of Garbini, is disappeared.
