Architectural Fragment

View of an architectural fragment found near the “structure’s” foundation. Note the rosettes and the egg and dart design—both typical of Greco Roman architecture.

The smooth, yet unfinished, chiseling below the rosettes would seem to indicate that this area of the fragment was covered, and not visible.
