Description: Two fragments from a white marble relief panel (0.10 ) decorated with crude relief sculpture within a series of rectangular areas enclosed within a simple flat moulding. These two both come from the upper edge of the stone; traces survive below of a second register of decoration.a. (w: 0.50 × h: 0.49) has a border surviving above and below, but both sides are lost. In the upper tier are running animals ?an ox pursued by a dog or wolf. Below, a man with a spear fights off a bear; to his left, a humped animal (probably another bear) springs away, and below it a creature bends its head to the ground. b. (w: 0.56 × h: 0.48) has border surviving above, below and to the right. In the top right corner an ox flees. Below it, to the left a man (largely lost) confronts ?a bear, which is ?pursued by two running dogs. Below, in the lower right corner a ?boar is seated, facing two reclining creatures. That to the left is lost; in the centre a creature whose head is elongated, like that of a bear holds in an uplifted hand a rope which appears to be fastened to its neck, and to that of the creature behind. For a full description see Kontokosta (2008).
