| Notes on support and decorations | Squared altar with ibex frieze placed on the frontal face. The top is quite eroded as well as the bottom. Frieze not easily interpretable from the picture: probably it was made from seven ibex standing on a rectangular base. Stylized animals with small horns, globular eyes, rectangular beards and short legs. High relief. |
