| Title: | Architrave Backer: Doric | |
| Category: | Architecture Marble | |
| Description: | Broken at right end, otherwise fresh. In top an original cutting for a double T-clamp to join this with the next backer; a replacement in the form of a cutting for a Π-clamp; a cutting for a Π-clamp 0.21m. from right and leading back; a pry-hole 0.40m. from right end. Excellent original anathyrosis on end and lower edge. Tolling of top may be from reuse. Clearly a block of the 5th or 4th c. B.C. later reused. The clamp cutting and tooling suggest association with triglyph A 2977 in the original period of both blocks. Pentelic marble. | |
