| Description | The object having disappeared after the 1909-1910 excavation, we can only rely on the two lines in which Winlock describes it: "Another fragment of decoration that probably came from the church was a slab of relief with a female figure carrying a basket, of which Evelyn White made a sketch." (1941: 47). The drawing made by Hugh Evelyn-White, the only existing illustration of the object, now kept in the archives of the Department of Medieval Art of the Metropolitan Museum, indicates as dimensions 60 x 36 cm. |
