Description

A wooden chest stands on a rough four-legged wooden frame in an open dry field. Its front board is carved with rows of concentric circles, rosettes and wavy lines within a border. Behind it are a mud-brick building, a bare tree and a dark grazing animal, possibly a cow, at the left edge, with a dark-clothed figure partly visible beside the frame.

Description, scan 2
A wooden chest with a flat lid and carved concentric circles, wavy lines and a border stands on a four-legged wooden frame outdoors. A twisted cord runs between the legs beneath it. Behind it a dark animal grazes near a flat-roofed mud-walled building, with a bare tree at right and dry ground littered with straw.
