Description
The relief is of a funeral scene with seven people gathered around a garlanded altar making a sacrifice and paying their respects to the deceased, whose portrait appears in a niche, also garlanded, above the altar.
The beaded borders above and below the relief are characteristic of Late Antique silverware and suggest a date not earlier than the 4th century.
The panel is broken at both ends but is intact on the upper and lower edges; the back surface has a tapering hollow characteristic of a bone.
