A rectangular ivory relief is carved with two human figures in side profile. Each figure is enclosed within an arched frame, facing right while wearing a textured cap and short, pleated tunic. They carry curved objects over their shoulders and hold small shields. A repeated ring-and-dot motif borders the entire scene. Dark metal pins secure the corners, and a fragment is missing from the bottom edge.
