A horizontal ivory carving panel features two male figures standing in adjacent arched niches. Facing right, they wear striped tunics, leggings, and turbans. Each carries a long-handled weapon over his shoulder and a curved shield, with a sword at his waist. A border of small circles frames the scene. The cream-colored ivory is secured by dark metal pins. Incised lines emphasize the figures' detailed gear and garments.
