  • The fragment is broken on all sides, though the breaks are fairly straight, suggesting that the piece may have been trimmed into a roughly rectangular shape for reuse. The two carved faces are extremely worn. There is discolouration in patches.
  • A small fragment of geometrical interlace carved on opposing faces. The patterns are too worn to be deciphered.
  • Local examples of two-faced chancel barriers can be found in the churches of Ferentino and Rome. See, for example, two ninth-century fragments housed in Rome's Museo dell'Alto Medioevo (Melucco Vaccaro and Paroli 1995, nos 34 and 54).
  • Though the geometrical interlace patterns are too worn and fragmentary to be identified with certainty, AE 1114 should be associated with the other low-relief fragments found on the site.
