Dado with interlaced arches (type 11c)

Dado carved in bas-relief (type 11c). This type is represented by one specimen. The decoration is composed of one section with a sequence of interlaced trilobated arches. They are set against a vegetal pattern of interlaced half-palmettes and fleur-de-lis.

The height of the panel is 35 cm, its width 73 cm; its thickness is unknown.

The artifact was found re-employed in the Ghazni area in 1957.

Type 11c might have been used as an architectural dado or as a tomb paneling. It differs from dadoes types 10, 11a, 11b, 11d, 12, 13 mainly for the vegetal pattern.
