She wears a cloth draped over her left shoulder and wrapped around her waist. She holds a spear or javelin in her right hand. Her left palm faces outwards. Both figures have shading and cross-hatching details. The background of each niche is shaded darker at the top. There is small text at the top center and longer text at the bottom of each niche.
