This intricately decorated votive sculpture is adorned with knucklebone-shaped projections at each corner, large rosettes in high relief on the long sides, a Medusa head at one of the short ends, and a striding peacock, holding grapes in its mouth, on the other. There are pomegranates in the field of the latter short end. This votive sculpture once supported another element, as shown by the raised circular boss in the centre of the top.
