- The fragment is badly damaged and worn, especially on side b, which is also significantly discoloured.
- The patterns preserved on AE 1036 cannot be identified with certainty due to the fragment's small size. AE 1036a may be the edge of a net or basket pattern. AE 1036b preserves two trisected bands curling away from each other into adjacent circles.
- AE 1036a may be the edge of a net or basket pattern, that extended over a broad surface of a slab from a chancel barrier or pilaster. This motif was very common (Verzone 1945, 163). See, for example, a fragment housed in Rome's Museo dell'Alto Medioevo dated to the late eighth/early ninth century (Melucco Vaccaro and Paroli 1995, no. 56) and another in Lazio (Raspi Serra 1974, no. 5b). It is also possible that AE 1036 is a fragment of a narrow block and is the edge of a braid patterns as, for example at S. Andrea Cata Barbara, dated to the reign of Pope Leo III (795-816; Pani Ermini 1974, vol. 1, nos 19 and 21).
- AE 1036a may be the edge of a net or basket pattern like that found on AE 1034b and possibly AE 1051b, AE 1053 and AE 1168a.
