This is a bas-relief depicting a procession. The artwork shows stylized figures in a ceremonial setting, including figures on horseback with exaggerated features. The central figure holds a baton or stick, while another figure carries a drum. There are cloud-like elements above. The style is reminiscent of caricature or satire, emphasizing facial and body features with distinct lines and contours.
