Notes on support and decorations | Rectangular funerary slab, expanding in horizontal direction. On the right of the inscription there is a panel with a bull’s head, in frontal view, carved in low relief, above a shutter motif and a row of dentils. The bull’s head is damaged on its lower part. The upper part shows lyrate horns, protruding eyes, and triangular element on the brow, probably representing a tuft of hair. For its structure and decoration this object recalls BM 1991,1214.1. |
