Actual Location (Collection/Museum):
Museo Arqueológico de Mérida
Physical Characteristics:
Small block of white marble; broken on the right side. Previously surrounded by a moulding of 1.5 cm, which is now visible clearly only along the top and left sides of the block. A 5 cm diameter hole with a rectangular slot has been cut into it, presumably balanced with another on the now missing right side of the stone, which held the footings to support a votive offering on top (metal bust or bronze statuette).
