This image depicts a carved relief likely from ancient times, featuring a central figure seated on a throne. The surrounding figures include what appears to be a soldier or guard on the right, identifiable by a helmet and armor, and a figure on the left who seems to be holding a long staff or scepter, possibly signifying a position of power or divinity.

This image depicts an intricately carved ivory plaque of notable vertical orientation and considerable length. The artwork is divided into three distinct registers—upper, middle, and lower—each containing different scenes or figures.

The top register shows two standing figures flanking a central symbol, which appears to be a balance scale. The figure on the left seems to be wearing a crown, perhaps indicating royalty or a deity, while the one on the right is also attired in elaborate clothing, suggesting a person of high status or significance.

In the middle register, a seated figure dominates the scene, who might be interpreted as a ruler or judge, given the presence of the balance scale above. This central figure is adorned with elaborate attire and headdresses, reinforcing the theme of authority. On either side of the seated figure stand two attendants, each holding what appears to be a staff or scepter, denoting their role in service to the central character.

The bottom register features two reclining figures positioned in mirrored poses, seemingly engaged in the act of playing some kind of board game—each has their attention focused on a table between them, which is marked with a grid pattern that could resemble a gaming board.

The plaque appears aged and the coloration suggests it may be made of ivory, a material commonly used for fine art objects in various cultures, particularly during the Middle Ages and in regions such as Byzantium or other parts of the Mediterranean. This artifact looks to be of historical significance, possibly telling a story or recording an event related to governance, judgment, or leisure activities of the elite. The workmanship is detailed, with attention to the folds of clothing, facial expressions, and decorative elements conveying the high level of skill and artistry involved in its creation.
