11th-12th c.

Small fragment. The existing decoration is composed of two horizontal sections: the upper section consists of incised half-palmettes; the lower section consists of a sequence of interlaced trilobated arches. The arches, which enclose an incised vegetal motif, alternate with vertical motifs created by split-palmettes and fleur-de-lis. This type might have been used as an architectural dado or as a tomb paneling.
