Italian term or phrase: radiata
Hi all,

This is from an article on funeral rites and grave goods.

Il mosaico presenta un pannello centrale con campo in tessere bianche decorato da tessere nere disposte a distanza regolare e cornice.
I due pannelli laterali, realizzati con tessere disposte in modo irregolare, sono decorati con lettere:
“A” ***radiata*** e “OR”.

No idea what this radiata refers to. Any suggestions? TIA

neutral  Barbara Carrara: Can you pls copy and paste the portion in your ref. link where the term (which, to be fair, I suggested as an unsupported, tentative rendition in the disc. panel) appears?

  -> btw "sunburst pattern" is the "specific term for this" you couldn't provide in the disc. panel ;)
