Rectangular plaque with raised border. Central figure of a nude male with head facing forward and body turned slightly to the right. His arms are raised and his right leg is bent at the knee, while the left leg bears his weight. He is surrounded by columns and arches and tied to a tree-like post. Two winged figures stand on pedestals on either side of the central figure, each on a separate pedestal. The figures on the left and right are both facing inward toward the central figure. A lion is depicted on a relief below the figure on the left. The plaque has a dark patina with areas of green.
