Looks more like an Egyptian sun boat of Ra than Roman.
I've re-checked the label that I photographed at the same time, and confirm that it states that the fragment dates to the beginning of the Roman period.
The label confirms that the themes are Egyptian, of course - Ra on the solar barge and a winged Khepri in the sky at the top left with a row of stars in the lower register.
