Notes on support and decorations | Fragment of bronze plaque preserving a sector of its lower part. The bottom edge ends with a decoration consisting in a row of circular elements, above which the remains of a squared recessed panel with a lion inside are visible. The animal is represented moving, in profile, with its head turned behind. This fragment, on the base of reconstruction by Audouin (see drawing), was one of the lower squared panels of a larger applique, together with ATM 209, which constituted one of the top panels. |
