A carved ivory relief, fragmented along the top and left, features three vertical panels. A goddess stands in the center holding a curved object, flanked by two women carrying flywhisks. Horizontal bands at the top and bottom depict pairs of birds facing each other within scrolling vines. The figures wear detailed jewelry and patterned wraps, and the entire piece is rendered in deep relief with a dark brown finish.
