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. Broken and slightly corroded. This type might have been used as an architectural dado or as a tomb paneling.
