At edge of joint is a smooth worked surface, not sunk below but quite distinctly visible. A clamp was once intended at the top and never cut, but apparently the step above the set further back than called for by the original plan. Blue Hymettian marble. A 138 (Ζ 30) - A 144 (Ζ 36) are from the same series. <graphic> | |
