Although the mural crown identifies this as a Roman city goddess, and the finely modelled features reflect the naturalism of Roman painting, the garment and jewelled necklace draw inspiration from later Sasanian and Byzantine art. The figure wears a robe trimmed with bands of drawloom-woven silk in the style of the 6th - 7th century, patterned in staggered rows of small-scale roundels in just two colours.
