Notes on support and decorations | This stela, as a whole unusual, is composed by two distinct parts, even if they are carved on the same stone block. At the bottom a narrower portion of stone (broken), bearing the inscription, is surmounted by a larger framed one. The elaborate framework, alternating horizontal and vertical grooves, frames a recessed panel (nearly a niche) where the human figure is realized in low relief. |
