Carved decoration: the carved pattern is complex and geometric, with intersecting elements. They can be distinguished: straight and parallel lines: they create a sort of basic grid or structure. Curvilinear shapes: concentric arcs or semicircles repeat, creating a visual rhythm. Circular or spiral elements: more closed and enveloping shapes are also noticeable. A cruciform element: in the center of the fragment a sort of stylized cross is visible, formed by the intersection of lines. The relief of the sculpture is rather low, typical of a bas-relief. The engravings appear precise, suggesting careful workmanship. Nature of fragment: the irregular edges and asymmetrical shape clearly indicate that this is a broken piece from a larger object. It is not possible to determine the original form or function of the object from which this fragment came without further information or viewing other pieces. Possible interpretations: the decorative motif could belong to different historical and cultural contexts. The presence of geometric elements and the stylized cross could suggest a religious, architectural or decorative origin of a specific period. However, without further clues, it is difficult to make a precise attribution. In summary, this stone-carved fragment features an interesting geometric pattern in low relief, altered by time and exposure. Its nature as a broken piece limits understanding of its original context, but the quality of the sculpture suggests that it was part of an artefact of some value.
