Notes on support and decorationsStela without base and concave top. A man, wearing a short tunic with a spear in the right hand, is hunting a probable lion, as suggested by some criss-cross incised lines on the neck of the fear. A vertical vegetal element, probably a palm tree, in front of the lion, bounds the scene. Incision.
