Notes on support and decorations | Limestone tray on four angular legs, in the shape of animal's (probably bull's) hooves. The bull's symbol, in the form of a very stylized bucranium, appears also on the front face of the object. A deep groove is carved in corrispondance of the rim. A monogram is incised on the external long wall, whose reading is not certain. |
