2175. Panel from the lower part of a relief, probably votive.
In the middle is an altar. On each side is a bull, with
his head tethered by two ropes, and a figure about to
sacrifice the bull. The figures have long tunics and
Phrygian caps, and stand with double-edged axes up-
lifted in their hands. Above are the bases of columns
and remains of a relief, perhaps consisting of two standing
figures and an altar. The style is conventional and late.
