Dado panel
Marble
Bas-relief

Late 11th - early 12th c.

The dado 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. Location mark (?) incised on the central field. Much damaged. Epigraphic band abraded.
