Description: | A box modelled in high relief in the form of a lion crouching over the prostrate body of a stag, which it bites in the stomach. Beside the lion is a third animal, possibly a jackal; all are positioned upon a grassy mound and painted in naturalistic colours. The modelled section of the box sits on a circular, hinged lid/base. On the base is painted a scene of two Arab horsemen attacking a lion with spears, depicted within coloured scrolls on a white ground.
