This relief slab was created during one of the many restoration campaigns of the early medieval church of provenance. It depicts Christ enthroned within a mandorla, raising his right hand in a Latin blessing gesture, flanked by offering angels. The inner edges of the slab are adorned with a sharp-leaved palmette motif. In the early 20th century, it was embedded in the side wall of the church.
By then, it was already missing the lower left corner and showed minor cracks and chips. In 2018, to restore its visual integrity, the missing portion was reconstructed using 3D printing.
