U-shaped = ends flat, near each end a small hole bored through stone on the diameter of the semi-circule - broken in antiquity and riveted. Suggest that this is the loop ornament figured in early sculpture on door jambs or on lances set upright by the sides of doors: the ends might fit into holes in the wooden upright and the small holes would serve for attachment to same by means of copper wires.
