Hellenistic-Roman relief, probably depicting Amazons fighting with labrys axes
Description
A long, narrow stone slab carved in low relief is photographed straight on against a plain grey background. Several figures and animal forms run along its length, with a figure at the far right appearing to raise an arm. The surface is worn and the edges are uneven, and the figures are hard to read in detail.
