This piece dates to the 1-2nd c AD and has a wrought iron attachment at the back and a slightly tapered end to compensate for its attachment to the front pediment of a building to compensate for the visual angle of the pediment, the modellion is a near match to Romes Pantheon's pediment with near identical modillions. Near complete except for damage to the front corner, no restoration and still retains some of its original painted surface. Size W10" L 14.5" H 10" weight 50 pounds.
