- Description
- Fragment of the upper right part of a round-topped plaque. The epigraphic field framed by a raised border 1.1–2.2 cm wide, leaving a broad uninscribed outer margin of 3–3.5 cm. The upper part of the epigraphic field apparently left uninscribed. It presumably contained some decorative elements. The front surface and the border are very crudely formed with fingers and not smoothed. In the profile of the lower part of the fragment, one can see a round hole (0.8 cm in diameter) below the raised border. It must have had some technological function.
