Funerary coping; Ampelum (Pătrângeni, Zlatna, Alba County), 2nd - 3rd century AD.

Pieces of this type were placed on top of pilasters or inside funerary enclosures. The two pieces from Ampelum (nos. 2 and 11) probably come from the decoration of such an enclosure. They are presumed to represent baskets containing food or vegetal elements.
