This image features a highly detailed carved artifact, that appears to be made out of ivory or a similar material. It's rectangular in shape, resembling a panel or plaque and exhibits intricate workmanship. There's a rich array of iconography present:

At the top, there’s an inscription in Latin, indicative of historical significance and perhaps meant to convey a message or denote ownership.

Below the inscription are two figures, prominently dressed in attire that suggests status, possibly regal or ecclesiastical, given the crosses and patterns that adorn their garments. They appear to be holding symbols of authority or religious significance, such as a cross and a staff or scepter.

The central part of the carving shows an assembly, where numerous figures appear to be sitting in rows under an arch. This might represent an audience or spectators, possibly a part of a religious or courtly scene.

The lower segment of the panel exhibits a dynamic scene filled with various figures, some of whom are engaged in what appears to be a violent struggle with beasts; lions are discernible, suggesting a setting that references a story or a symbolic event which could be historical, mythological, or biblical in nature.

The rectangular border frames the scenes and contains small holes, indicating that the panel could have been attached to a larger object or used functionally, like a book cover or a decorative element on furniture or a reliquary. The overall craftsmanship suggests it could be from the medieval period, possibly from the Byzantine era or a related cultural context where such artistic expression was valued.
