Fragment of red marble (rosso antico), from the façade of the Treasury of Atreus. The decoration consists of half-rosettes set in pairs opposed; between each pair, a triglyph in the centre of which are three vertical running spirals. Above and below, squared bead pattern. The wall line shows in the middle; there are two dowel holes on the top near the left end and another near the right on the underside. The slab has a battered surface, the thickness on the two beds being about a centimetre different.
