Nearby a reclining figure sits atop a plinth or cart with draped cloth, reaching toward a platter held by another figure with a horned head. In front of the cart a small furry creature is on the ground. Toward the center several nude figures bend and carry baskets and vessels filled with foliage, while one figure holds a bowl on their head. To the right a reclining nude woman leans back as a figure with a pitcher pours liquid over her, and another figure beside them cradles a small child. Further right two standing figures face each other, one playing a horn-like instrument and the other holding a curved object, with decorative foliage and distant architectural details in the background. The scene is rendered in fine line work with cross-hatching and ornamental plant motifs.
