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; each trilobated arch includes one superimposed fleur-de-lis in a tree-like vegetal composition. One hole for suspension. This type might have been used as an architectural dado or as a tomb paneling.
