The image depicts a tall, rectangular stone panel featuring intricate carvings. The panel is divided into three central circular medallions, surrounded by elaborate floral and geometric patterns.

  1. Top medallion: This shows finely carved vegetal motifs, including intertwined foliage, and appears to be purely decorative without any human or animal figures.

  2. Middle medallion: It features a figure seated on a horse. The figure holds a bow, suggesting a depiction of an archer or a warrior. The scene is enclosed in a circular border with floral embellishments.

  3. Bottom medallion: Similar to the middle, another figure is riding a horse. The figure appears to be holding a falcon or a hunting bird, indicating a possible hunting scene. This medallion is also surrounded by intricate floral and vine carvings.

Overall, the panel demonstrates high craftsmanship and attention to detail, emphasized by the ornate designs that cover the entire surface.

This image features a vertical, rectangular stone panel intricately carved with decorative motifs and figures. The craftsmanship is detailed and features a high degree of skill.

The panel is divided into three main sections, each framed by elaborate interlacing patterns and foliage that suggest an influence from the Islamic art tradition, which often features arabesques and geometrical vegetal designs.

In the center of each section, there is a circular medallion:

  1. The top medallion depicts a figure holding what appears to be a sword or staff, possibly indicative of authority or a warrior status. The figure stands next to an animal that appears to be a horse, indicating that this could represent a person of importance, perhaps even royalty, or a scene from a story or myth.

  2. The middle medallion also features a mounted figure on a horse, who is in a dynamic pose that might suggest movement or battle — again, indicative of a warrior or noble person.

  3. The bottom medallion does not seem to include a figure but rather is filled with more elaborate interwoven foliage and floral patterns which are symmetrical and highly decorative.

These motifs and the style of the carving suggest that the panel could be an architectural element, likely from a religious or significant historical building. Its exact origin would depend on additional context, such as where it was found, or specific stylistic analysis that could link it to a known culture or time period.
