Six Sections of an Architectural Frieze
Coptic
Architectural frieze decorated in relief. Stylized, continuous vine scroll with alternating leaves and grape clusters. Birds pick at grapes and leaves. A plain, narrow fillet forms the border along one edge of the blocks.
The limestone is in a serious state of deterioration, and is in the process of disintegrating into powder. It is difficult to make out the birds along the frieze.
