A bronze, arched plaque features a golden-brown surface with a dark patina. In relief, a woman faces our right, wearing a draped garment that exposes her left breast. She holds a small, winged figure aloft while resting her right hand on a wheat-topped pedestal to our left. To our right, a figure plows with oxen beneath a rising sun. A footed bowl sits at bottom center, above a draped ledge.
