Description

A large arched stone relief fills most of the page. A central oval medallion holds a seated, haloed figure, with smaller figures in panels above and beside it. Rows of standing figures run along the lower band, and a horizontal projecting bar extends from the slab at mid-height. Two broken fragments with carved letters lie on the left and a rough fragment sits on the right, all against a dark background.
