Part of a roof-gutter made of clay. It is a raking sima belonging to the upper side of a pediment of an archaic building. Initially it bore painted decoration from which only part of a braid motif has survived, rendered in red, yellow and black colour over a black background. On the roof-gutter’s underside a red band can be discerned.
