The dado, almost complete, belogs to Type 2. The decoration is composed of three horizontal sections: the upper section consists of an epigraphic band in cursive script, the middle section of a sequence of interlaced trilobated arches, and the lower section of a sequence of two interlaced and rolled up half-palmettes. The trilobated arches are plain inside and alternate with vertical motifs created by split-palmettes and fleur-de-lis. Epigraphic band hammered away.
