Ave Fratres,
I have seen several similar small "altars" in the Balkans. They were produced from local stone and had no inscriptions. One had been combined with a small bronze ornament to make a "votive object" that probably wound up in the relic trade. Our friends in Dardania and Thracia seem very adept at that.
I think you are correct in your assessment of small private, personal or family altar
