Description
- Medieval low relief
- pale grey limestone
- 1
- 37.0
- 32.0
- 11.0
- The slab suffered rough, uneven breaks on all sides. The carved surface is worn and pitted where pebble inclusions in the limestone have dropped out.
- AE 1069 preserves a trisected band twisted into a grid of interlocking circles, which overlap and intersect their neighbors. Where the band meets the raised, smooth-faced border along the slab's edge it twists into semi-circles.
- Limestone was used for the bulk of the liturgical furnishings that once decorated the churches of nearby Norba, on western slopes of the Carpetino Romano and further afield in Lazio. See examples in the Museo Civico, Bagnoregio probably from S. Giacomo alla Capraccia (now destroyed; Raspi Serra 1974, nos 5c and 5d).
- The tri-band intersecting circles motif is similar to AE 1039. AE 1070 is also carved in limestone.
