Notes on support and decorations | The upper framework shows an elaborate and symmetrical decoration in low relief: in the centre the monogram, placed between two date-palms in full fruit; on each sides of trees a pair of rectangular fields filled by horizontal grooves between which is a bull’s head with open horns and vegetal element. These lateral decorations are refined at the bottom with a row of dentils. |
