| Notes on support and decorations | Fragmentary limestone stela. Below a frieze of dentils and the inscription, the stela is divided into two registers with figurative scenes in low-relief. The upper one represents a man driving a plough pulled by a pair of oxen. The man is represented frontally and wears a headgear surrounding his face with a pendant element on the right side. He also wears wide dress covering him until the knees with the lower part striated. In the left hand he holds the handle bar of the plough, while in the right one the whip for the oxen. The lower register consists of the representation of three men wearing a dress striated on their right shoulder. The man on the left shows a more elaborated rounded headdress than the other two. |
