Weathered rectangular stone relief depicting human figures in a procession with horses or horse-related elements, shown in low-relief carving.
The image shows a horizontally oriented rectangular sandstone relief panel with a worn, pitted surface. On the left, a large human figure is carved in profile facing right; on the right, another human figure stands or moves alongside a horse’s head/upper body and harness-like lines. Between and around the figures are incised curved and linear details that resemble tack, reins, or diagonal strokes associated with equine forms. The figures’ faces and torsos are partially eroded, but the overall composition strongly suggests a scene of men accompanied by horses. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or written text are clearly visible; the markings appear sculptural rather than readable inscriptions. No deities are identifiable from the surviving iconography. Materials consistent with the catalogue description (sandstone) are visible as a light gray/khaki stone surface with tool marks and erosion.
