Dado panel
Marble
Bas-relief

11th-12th c.

Large fragment of a dado panel. The decoration is composed of two horizontal sections, separated by a narrow beaded band: the upper section consists of a cursive epigraphic band, the lower section of a sequence of pointed horseshoe arches supported by vegetal column-like features. The arches have an inner polylobated frame and are set against a vegetal pattern of interlaced half-palmettes and fleur-de-lis.
