Graffito of two incised palm branches located at the eastern face of Pier A71. They are not completely preserved, especially the branch to the right, as the plaster has partially fallen off and has numerous cracks in the parts still extant. The two branches are characterized by a long vertical line at the center identifying the rachis from which depart corresponding sets of diagonal lines, the leaflets, (eight sets in the branch to the left and six preserved sets, possibly originally eight, in the branch to the right), progressively shorter at the top to identify the tip of the branch. In the palm to the right the leaflets reach down to the base of the periole, while in the branch to the left the last third of the rachis is bare.
