Description

A carved stone block, photographed outdoors on sandy ground, shows relief decoration on its front corner. A round medallion holds a human head, and a thick garland of leaves or fruit runs across the block. In the centre a worn standing figure is carved in relief, and to the right a second rounded head is set among the foliage, with the moulded top and base still visible.
