Description
Content (description)
On far right two altars with garlands hanging over them stand in front of two bare twiggy trees. A draped man with his head covered pours libation, while a man holds an open box in the background and a youth carries a jug behind him. Three draped men lead up a pig, a sheep and a bull from left for sacrifice. In the background in the centre are the heads of four subsiduary figures, two of whom carry slender rods; on right are three draped men, one carrying an axe over his shoulder.
