In one of the fronts of this stone block has been carved the face of a Bacchic character, probably an old satyr, with a wide nose and flattened mustache, beard and abundant and curly hair, protruding cheekbones, frown and pierced eyes. There are stylistic and formal parallels in the province of Jaén, in the areas of Linares (Cástulo) and Úbeda (Salaria, "Úbeda la Vieja") all from mausoleums dated from the second half of the first century B.C. and, above all, in the first century A.D., especially in the Julio-Claudian period. The block that most resembles is the one belonging to the Ricardo Marsal Monzón collection catalogued with the number F1 005, and which must have possibly formed part of a frieze of the open aedicula type.
