TNMM 1521 ↔ CIMRM 1121
Two altars in sandstone (H. 0.80 Br. 0.36 D. 0.30) placed on two bases a and b (see plan). The tops are decorated with volutes. The cornice and the base both have a slit in the front (Br. 0.025) which according to Wolff possibly served to fasten a bar to them in order to partition off the cultniche if necessary.
