Notes on support and decorationsFragment of stela broken on its lateral sides. The picture in low relief preserves only a standing man in frontal view holding a stick with his right hand, while his left one is slightly raised. The representation is too rough to see the details of this figure; in particular it is not clear if this man is naked or not.
