Description
Two fragments of a small stone altar used in the home. Despite being fragmented, it was probably rectangular in shape, the base is flat, and the body has three rounded mouldings in the bottom part and at the top spike-shaped incisions protruding from the upper face, forming a space for a container where libations could be made or incense could be burnt in rituals.
