  • The small fragment is broken on all sides and discoloured.
  • A fragment of marble carved in low relief on two opposing sides. Side A preserves a small section of a curved, trisected band. Weathering has reduced the bands to low, rounded peaks. Side B is cut at two levels. The raised section, now very worn, was once decorated with a guilloche pattern, now largely indecipherable; the rest was brought to a relatively smooth finish, but not decorated.
  • Local examples of two-faced chancel barriers can be found in the churches of Ferentino and, further afield, of 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 larger pattern cannot be determined, this fragment should be associated with the rest of the fragments of tri-band geometrical interlace found on the site.
