This carved relief shows four figures in a tight group. A woman sits in the center holding a baby, her head framed by a large halo. Behind her, two standing men hold objects—one looks like a scroll, the other a tool. To the right, a kneeling figure with a cow’s head leans in, its horns curved back. The cow-headed figure is unusual. It might represent a mythical or symbolic role, but the exact meaning isn’t clear just from looking. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
