A fragment of a three-sided tripod base with a relief of a butterfly one one side. The fragment was possibly a Roman choregic monument, which was a type of trophy erected in honor of a Choregos (χορηγός, χορηγοῦ, ὁ), a chorus leader. Such monuments were generally erected to Choregoi who saw their productions victorious in the city Dionysia. 1st-2nd c. A.D.
