Fragment of a dado panel (type 39). The existing decoration is composed of three horizontal sections: the upper section consists of a cursive epigraphic band, the second section of a beaded band, the lower section of a sequence of continuous pointed horseshoe arches. The pointed horseshoe arches enclose a standing personage holding a club. Vegetal elements ending up in a double-headed eagle fill the contour panels.
