Description
- Cut and polished coloured marble
- Pinkish-white marble
- 1
- 7.0
- 4.5
- 1.8
- The smooth, polished faces of AE 1052 are lightly scratched and pitted with some discolouration. Traces of mortar cling to the fragment's edges.
- A small, flat piece of pinkish-white marble cut in a trapezoidal shape, its surfaces finished to a smooth polish.
- Cosmatesque floors comprised of pieces of marble like these were extremely common in Lazio, especially Rome. See, for example, S. Clemente (Pajares-Ayuela (2001, 249–51 and 258, figs 6-7, 6-8, 6-9 and 6-30), SS. Quattro Coronati in Rome, and S. Ambrosio in Ferentino (Glass 1980, plates 7–9 and I) all dated to the first two decades of the twelfth century, and the Cathedral of S. Maria in Anagni constructed from 1224 through the early 1230s (Claussen 1987, 96–8 and 110–44).
