| Notes on support and decorations | The original use of this block is difficult to determine. It could be either a sort of base or some kind of architectural element. The decoration, in low relief, is very elaborate. From the top: two spaced bull’s heads, with large and open horns (only partially preserved) and triangular element between them; below two crescents moon and discs leaning on trapezoidal bases alternate with false window motifs. Below, on the sides of the first inscription line, two rosettes carved inside a rectangular field. |
