  • Broken into a roughly triangluar shape. The carved surface is well preserved with only minor chips and breaks to the peaks of the trisected bands. The sculpted face is lightly discoloured from weathering.
  • A small, roughly triangular-shaped fragment of precisely carved geometrical interlace. A trisected band folds back on itself at an acute angle.
  • The three pointed triple-fascia "knot of Solomon" (less common than the four-pointed knot) is typically found in conjunction with a cross as in a fragment from the Museo del Sannio, Benevento (Rotili 1966, no. 42), SS. Giovanni e Paolo, Ferentino (Ramieri 1983, no. 44) and S. Sabina, Rome, dated to ca 824 (van Essen, 88, pl. VIII). A nearby example of the four-pointed knot can be found on a large fragment from the Catterale di Santa Maria, Anagni (now housed in the Museo Lapidario; Mengarelli 2006, 71, fig. 7). The Anagni slab is dated to the first half of the ninth century (Mengarelli 2006, 71).
  • AE 1038; may be a point from a so-called knot of Solomon as on AE 1168b
