Limestone slab with a smoothed front surface and sides and a rather irregular back; upper left corner missing.

Found at Bad Ems presumably in the baths of the Roman fort., A roughly rectangular stone slab with an irregular top edge sits against a flat gray background; the slab surface shows a rough, pitted texture with worn, uneven areas and small depressions, and its color palette includes beige, tan, light brown, off-white, and hints of pale gray, with a few slightly darker brown patches and some lighter whitish spots near the bottom edge.
