DescriptionFrom left to right, there are a vertical fillet, a palmette and tendrils, a dog (?), two clothed, youthful figures running to the left, and a similar figure attacking a large feline. Five vertical divisions of beads, volutes, and palmettes follow, and then the scene is repeated in reverse. Badly corroded and with areas missing; the patina is light green.
