Description: Four white marble fragments from the same crowning feature, of which two join, to form c. The original feature was a slightly convex white marble block (H. 0.145, D. 0.40), and decorated with relief patterns on the underside; the block was therefore designed to be seen from below, and perhaps served a purpose similar to that of 1.37. Length: a: 0.50. b: 0.53. c: two joining fragments. 0.65.
Text: Inscribed in one line on the outer edge, which has a slight slope upwards.

Date: Twelfth century. (lettering)
