trial_description_8:
Fragment of molding, broken at top and bottom. Possibly part of a repair, or used as a template. Apparent anathyrosis on both broad sides of fragment; on one side with rough chiseling around, on the other with finer, shallower chiseling around. Finish of smooth-worked areas reveals scratching of a fine chisel. Piece thickens from bottom to top. Setting line (?) scratched on right side of worked face. Probably a repair set onto something like the crowning molding of a statue base, rather than a template, because of trapezoidal shape.
Gray marble, probably Hymettian.
