Funerary stele; place of discovery: Gilău (Cluj County); 2nd - 3rd century AD.

Profiled funerary stele, missing the part that included its funerary inscription. A shell-shaped medallion framed inside a corona is placed on the deceased’s bust, flanked by genii. These genii are each depicted holding a thyrsus in one hand and a bunch of grapes in the other hand. In the lower frame, two horsemen are illustrated, facing each other. They are portrayed standing up, holding the bridle with one hand and a spear with the other.
