Notes on support and decorationsFragment of stela with framework on three of the four sides. The field is occupied with the representation of a mythical winged animal resembling a horse/donkey with a raised forepaw, upright tail, plumed wing, thick mane and long ear (or horn?). The framework seems to have been decorated with leaves, in very poor state of preservation. Low relief.
