Partly visible on this fragmentary piece is a man with short curly hair, supporting with his right hand a basket with figs or dates on his head. Two fish, probably of the species Tilapia Nilotica, hang on a rope from the right arm. Part of the chest is present, the rest has broken of. In front of him, another offering bearer must have been depicted. Only a small basket is visible. A decorated border runs above the scene.
The representation is very finely carved in high relief.
