Notes on support and decorations | Granite, funerary stela with upper niche, housing a marble human head. The stela, around the upper cavity, shows the remains of a grooved decoration, while the niche appears roughly carved. It is not to be excluded that it was a re-worked stela, originally without niche. The stela surface is decorated with chess-board motif. According on the name incised on it, the head represents a woman. The long neck supports an almost squared face ending at the hair-line, with large incised eyes and drilled pupils, straight damaged nose. The hair was probably realized with plaster. |
