a) Fragment from the front of a sarcophagus with about a third of a tondo with a boy's head. The head evinces clear stylistic and iconographic parallels to portraits from the Domitian Period. At the top right of the frame the right hand of a figure presenting the tondo has been preserved. b) Relief fragment of a right arm partly covered in a cloak. The hand rests in front of the chest, some tunic folds below it. Probably part of a larger relief with figures.

a) Reverse roughly smoothed, with pick marks; upper edge smoothed. b) Reverse partially concave, roughly smoothed.
