Altar with niche. Red sandstone. The niche has been rebuilt from 5 pieces, here and there something is still wrong. The lower part is a whole. Upper and lower parts are not yet joined together. The niche is very weathered and damaged. A triangular pediment, supported on the corners by a cornice, rises above the plane of the mensa. The pilasters have been broken away. There seems to be no shell-shaped decoration in the niche at the top of the niche. A figure, unrecognizable by weathering, but in the characteristic posture of Nehalennia, sits on a very wide bench with armrests. On her right side

There seems to be no shell-shaped decoration in the niche at the top of the niche. A figure, unrecognizable by weathering, but in the characteristic posture of Nehalennia, sits on a very wide bench with armrests. On her right side is an elevation in which the head of a dog can be suspected. A piece is missing. On the other side, partly in front of the bank, probably an altar, stone, sandstone, 135 x 70 x 38 cm, roman 150-250, the Netherlands, Zeeland, Noord-Beveland, Colijnsplaat, Oosterschelde
