About This Piece
A figure sits at ease within an arched panel surrounded by open, flowing forms. The relief projects strongly from the ground, especially around the arms and lower part of the scene.
Carving details and what to examine
Compare the outer profile in the full view with the smaller carved details in the close-ups. An angled view helps separate changes in surface depth from differences caused by lighting. Photographs are useful for studying the composition, but do not establish the maker, the tools used or a workmanship grade.
