Description Large limestone block with reliefs carved on all four sides. S side could not be completely seen since block now rests against the wall of a small "turbe", a grave surrounded by a wall, but from what could be seen it seems very similar to the motif on the N side. Iconography clearly Christian. Rectangular basin carved into top of block, channel and hole pierced through E. side not original(?)
