A vertically oriented carved ivory relief depicts a figure in profile within a rectangular panel. The figure wears a patterned conical hat, long-sleeved tunic, and pleated skirt. Their right arm is bent, holding a curved sword over the shoulder, while the left holds a shield. A repeated circle pattern, like small rings, borders the arched frame. The aged surface features banded leggings and two metallic pins at the base.
