Description
Content (description)
Sacrificial scene: to left a square altar with a fire burning on it; behind this is a male figure blowing a double pipe; two female figures advance from the right; the front one pours a libation from a patera in her right hand, a house-shaped incense box in her left: she is fully draped, in a yellow brown robe with a crimson mantle, and wears a stephane: behind her is an attendant with bare arms, carrying a basket of flowers on her head. On the extreme right is a tree. It is very likely a panel from Bn 7. 39
