| GeneralDescription |
This fragment is a plant-scroll inhabited by men and a beast. On the extreme top left of the scene are the snout and front
paws of a beast which grips and gnaws the stems. Facing this creature is a male figure, whose left arm is outstretched and
his right arm is raised. He is shown in profile, wearing a short kirtle, and appears to be bare-footed, striding over the
branches.
