Relief carving of the goddess Diana sitting side-saddle on a rearing horse. Bare-chested, she wears a sarong and a fluted cape that appears like wings behind her. She holds a bird (possibly an eagle) on one hand and rests her other hand on the horse's man. Her hunting dog runs along beside her. In the background is a stylised forest of trees, while in the foreground is falling water.
