Early medieval or Byzantine marble roundel likely depicting a crude and detail-less figure, in orant position - pleading or praying. Likely kneeling, as shown by the positioning and bodily silhouette. Made between the 6th and 8th centuries in Northern Italy. A decorative piece that would have adorned a building or structure. A crude and naive example with beauty found in the simplicity and innocence of the carving. On contemporary metal stand.
