Description

Fragment of a capital of a pilaster. Shaft is shaped like a rectangle

a pilaster; at the top of the shaft are two incised lines. The edges then slope outwards

first horizontally and then vertically

to form the capital of the pilaster

before sloping off horizontally again at the top. The longer sides (front and back) of the column are unworked

or eroded; the (shorter) sides are smoother. The top part of one of the longer sides of the capital have a rectangular section carved out of it

perhaps for something to be slotted into it. Stone. A small fragment of stone of similar consistency kept with it.
