Inscription
- Layout
- Text on one straight line, gap on the right, etched on the fresh plaster. Before the inscription, along the left side, two big letters in column, made of colored glass paste mosaic tiles. Impressions of other tiles between the 2nd and 3rd letter of the inscription, within the 4th and between the 5th and the 6th. Letters and the random mosaic tiles, fixed on the fresh plaster and therefore contemporary to the etched inscription, perhaps represent a rough decoration, also repeating the first two letters of the deceased's name.
