Part of a slab decorated with curving, incised moulding. This slab tapers along the line of the natural lamination of the stone and may originally have been of more uniform thickness. The orientation of the photograph is arbitrary.
This could be part of the moulding of a roundel, possibly from an altar frontal or screen, or the side panel of a sarcophagus.
