Ornament in the form of a mountain with figures
The sculpture depicts a mountain with multiple figures carved into it. The mountain is reddish-brown and has a rough, jagged shape. It features several protruding sections and indentations. On the left side, there are three yellowish-golden figures carved into the mountain. The figure on the left appears to be holding the middle figure, who is sitting. The figure on the right is sitting with their hands on their knees. A small ledge protrudes from the mountain below them. On the right side, there is another figure carved into the mountain. This figure appears to be walking with a long staff in one hand. The background of the image is dark at the top and lightens towards the bottom. A subtle shadow is cast by the sculpture onto the surface below it.
