Description

From Marcus Publication: "Composite material, colored pink, beige, and black. Bronze pink in perforation. Chipped at bottom. A standing bearded archer facing left, wearing a long fringed and belted tunic, aims his bow upward at an opposing wild adult male goat. The archer leans forward slightly from his waist. The horn of the goat is ridged; his body is marked by a band of vertical striations. Between the opponents is a palmette tree, composed of a vertical stem with two short horizontal lines at the top, and a five part palmette above; the larger central branch is flanked by the four smaller ones. A similar, slightly taller, tree is behind the archer. A bird with outstretched wings, facing left, is in the sky above the goat; a crescent is above the bird."
