Uppers of an altar with niche. Limestone. Reconstructed from 2 fragments. The altar is broken down about below the left elbow of the depicted person. The right part of the depicted figure has disappeared due to a fracture running from the top to the bottom. What remains of it has become unrecognizable due to food. A shell-like decoration with 5 ribs and a strong forward hinge forms the top closure of the niche. The main frame is supported on flat pilasters with Corinthian capitals visible in the niche and at the sides. On the left side there has probably been such a pilaster at the back. On
