| Notes on support and decorations | Monolithic rectangular altar, decorated on its front face with a series of false windows: the four superimposed in the centre are framed by two higher. The upper surface is finished with a regular and shallow fillet and two gutters are placed on the opposite undecorated side. It was probably an altar for bloody sacrifices. |
