Description

Scope and content : Fragment of wall-painting. The decoration of this wall-painting is divided into four sections. The topmost one once had a bright red background, but since many pigments have flaked off, no additional decoration can be discerned. The second band is narrow with a white background and a black Brahmi (?) inscription. It is bordered by a dark red section decorated with a green, trumpet-shaped flower. The last band is white with a Brahmi (?) inscription in black.
