Fluted bracket

Bracket with curved profile, made of a rectangular block, that was to be built in the wall, with the frontal part decorated. The latter is carved with three flat flutings (w. 2.5 cm) divided by flat fillets (w. 1,5), and crowned by a small torus (h. 2 cm) and a fillet (h. 1.5 cm), which do not continue on the lateral views; the sides and the lower surface are plain and well smoothed.

The artefact cannot be precisely dated because of its simple and very common decorative features.
