    Object Description

    Rectangular crossbar but flaring slightly at the ends. Curved and decorated near the narrow ends with a row of zigzag carved in relief. Lugs are flat semi circles facing front. Columns are two rectangular pillars, each having a blackened open arch on the outside, and being decorated with a blackened vertical row of rectangles carved in relief front and back. A piece of the base is missing but it was probably originally two flat linked spade shapes.
