Notes on support and decorations | Stela decorated on all her four sides. The fourth side is severely damaged. The two narrow faces are equally decorated. The decoration includes different registers with friezes in low relief and inscribed text, separated by zigzag lines and framed by two vertical rows of antilope heads. Compared to the narrow sides of the stela, the wider side has a further vertical frame of recumbent ibexes added to the one with antilope heads. The registers depict, from the top: the lower part of a frieze with an unrecognizable figurative subject; a frieze with ostriches moving in the reading direction (right to left); one-line inscription; a frieze of recumbent ibexes; the upper part of a frieze with facing rampant animals and vegetal motifs (trees?). |
