Date: 130–259/260., A rectangular stone slab with a rough, weathered surface sits against a plain gray background, showing beige and light brown tones with patches of darker brown and subtle reddish areas; the top face has carved grooves filled with a muted red pigment that follow linear patterns, and there is a thin dark streak along one of the slab's long edges; the slab's sides reveal a porous, grainy texture and irregular chipped edges, and the lighting casts soft shadows that emphasize the raised and recessed surfaces.
