Notes on support and decorations | Fragment of marble decorated panel in low relief. The decoration is divided in two sectors by a flat fillet; on the right there is the vine scroll motif with a bunch of grapes; on the left the motif is illegible. It is difficult to specify the exact function of this fragment; it can have been part of a decorative architectural panel. |
