A piece of a knee with a part of a thigh in tuff (H. 0.185 D. 0.14) may have belonged to Mithras as a bullkiller (Jacobi, 12 No. 9). To this representation possibly belongs also a fragment of a head in tuff (Br. 0.18) on which wavy hair is visible. Jacobi supposes a woman's head. In this case it may be Luna (Jacobi, 12 No. 7).
