Bas-relief

11th-12th c.

Small fragment of the main section of a dado. The decoration is composed of one section with a sequence of interlaced trilobated arches alternating with vertical motifs created by split-palmettes and fleur-de-lis. The arches enclose an incised vegetal motif. Much damaged. This type might have been used as an architectural dado or as a tomb paneling.
