(bottom and front of slab showing various cuttings;
drawing probably by Richard Sobolewski)
|
| Lower part of relief slab showing a bare-foot person wearing a long tunic with fringes and facing toward the right. The figure could be a courtier, and possibly carries a quiver and sword.
An unknown object (perhaps part of a tent) is seen behind the figure.
The bottom edge is original; the left edge seems sawn.
It is possible that this fragment fits a presumed lost relief depicted as a drawing in Barnett & Falkner (1962, pl.20; see the image at the left). Thanks to Julian Reade for pointing out this relationship.

The lower register may show very faint traces of horses heads moving left (possibly in procession).
