The dado belogs to Type 14. The decoration is composed of three horizontal sections: the upper section consists of a kufic epigraphic band, 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 band of trilobated arches meets at an angle of 95°. They are set against a vegetal pattern of interlaced half-palmettes and fleur-de-lis. Undecorated boundary stripe on the left. Location mark incised on the lower stripe. Reassembled from two fragments. Much corroded.
