Associated Drawings
A horseman spearing what is probably an ibex with a long lance. A saddle is shown in front of and behind his body and in his left hand he holds a single rein which runs to the horse's mouth. There is hatching on some of the edges of the horse's body. It has no tail, although two lines which cross the lances have been added later which may be intended to represent the tail.. On either side of the horseman are men on foot with small round shields and what are probably short spears in their hands since they each have a sword at their belt. There are other scratches below the hind legs of the horse,which may have been drawings but which have been scratched over.
