This stone slab shows carved scenes in three rows. The top row has two figures seated and one standing near a raised bed, maybe a ritual. The middle row is a line of people holding hands, marching in unison. The bottom panel shows a battle with soldiers on horseback and foot, weapons raised. The carvings look worn but still sharp, suggesting they were meant to last. The photo itself is old, with a color scale at the top for comparison—this was how scholars studied ancient art in the 1800s. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more original objects like this.
