Notes on support and decorations | The stela represents an arch supported by two short, channelled columns with Corinthian capitals. The arch is decorated in the external part by a row of spirals, placed between two rope motifs, and in the internal part by a row of rectangular dentils. Two globular grooved vessels, with pointed base and concave lid with circular pommel, are carved on the lateral spaces between the arch and the upper framework. The interior of the arch is empty, probably abraded. Its structure belongs to the same typology of other stelae with seated woman (see CIH 419), although the minor space below the arch induces to imagine an originally single, standing figure (cf. Matteini 2006). |
