Source Description

The remaining portion of this fragmentary rectangular relief shows a man from the waist up; his torso is bare, he wears a string with a pendant around his neck, and he has short hair. A basket hangs from his proper left elbow. A small monkey is perched on his right shoulder, and he holds a small ibex in his left hand. A raised border frames the scene.
