Wall decoration with geometric and floral decoration

Not on view

The slightly curved surface of this fragmentary panel suggests that it covered the underside of a rounded vault. Its pattern appears to have continued on both sides; therefore this piece belonged to a larger decorated field that spread across the vault.
