Notes on support and decorations | This slab, as shown by its name nfs¹, is certainly part of a funerary monument.The inscription is framed by a decoration in low relief of vine scroll with bunches of grapes. On the right, the lower part of a globular grooved vessel, with pointed base is visible. The vessel belongs to the same typology testified on RES 4575, a Sabaic stela of the British Museum (BM 125341), which depicts an empty arch, supported by channelled columns. |
