Description

A limestone relief block shows a reclining figure in a heavy, deeply folded cloak on a couch, its head broken off. A carved serpent winds across the front panel below, and a small table with curved supports stands beside it. At the right end, a smaller standing figure in a long veiled garment is set against the block's edge.
