| Notes on support and decorations | Rectangular stela with decorated framework on the lateral sides and upper side refined by a series of merlons. Starting from the top, the symmetrical decoration of the framework consists of two false windows, a human figure in profile facing to the right, a horned animal’s head (probably a bull’s head) and again two false windows. In the central slightly recessed panel a hunting scene is represented: a man riding a camel, in profile, facing to the left, holds a spear. The man’s dress is not visible, while is clearly visible the headgear with long tail. Low relief. |
