Fragments of a marble relief, which probably served as a fenster. I did not find it back. Parpaglio, 58 and fig. XIV; Herbig in JdI 1929, 254, fig. 21; Moscioni, No. 24291.Of Sol’s head only the curls are visible of his hair, which was encircled by seven rays. Next to it his upraised hand with outstretched palm. The wrist is covered by the sleeve of a tunica manicata. In the right lower corner the bust of Luna in a crescent. She wears a diadem in her hair. Part of her hand is visible. The bust and the larger part of the crescent have got lost.
