A carved ivory horizontal panel depicts stylized figures in four recessed scenes with beaded borders. Left of center, a seated noble in profile leans against cushions, smoking a long pipe as an attendant stands behind. Right, three musicians play drums and a stringed instrument. Far left and right, small square frames each contain a single figure. Figures wear patterned garments, all rendered in shallow relief against flat backgrounds.
