    "description": "The relief shows Achilles in his tent sulking, and refusing to fight the Trojans until the injustice done to him by Agamemnon is rectified (\"Iliad\" I). Achilles is on a couch or chair holding drapery up over his head. The leg of the furniture is in the form of a lion's foot. His sheathed sword hangs from his left hand, his helmet and cuirass are on the ground beside him, and his shield leans against a column at the far left.A raised border with grooves and hatching frames the relief. Holes for attaching it to a box pierce the frame. Typologically this plaque is related to Walters 71.29.",
