English, translated from the French record

Incomplete limestone incense burner of the small horned altar type, with its hearth half broken and its shaft undecorated; no traces of fire. H. 8.3 cm, L. 8 cm, l. 7.8 cm; very eroded. The altar has a hearth in the form of an inverted truncated pyramid, and its upper outline appears to have been two horns separated by a central tooth; its general form is similar to that of Sal_3336, but the altar seems to have been only roughed out, its feet barely freed and marked only by a cross-shaped chisel cut. Found in Tomb 1, Salamis; inventory Po_0015; 21 April 1965.

La forme générale est semblable à cellede Sal_3336, mais l'autel paraît n'avoir été qu'ébauché : les pieds, à peine dégagés, ne sont marqués que par un coup de ciseau en croix
