About this work
Triumphal chariot to the left, drawn by two elephants. On the chariot, a throne upon which Lady Asia sits on a cushion, holding a scepter in her right hand extended forward, its base resting on her knee; her left hand rests on the armrest. On the chariot, a vase, a sack with unidentifiable contents, and two beehives (?); above the throne, a radiant mask, the sun. In the background, an elephant with a rider and the top of a palm tree. The bottom of the relief runs into a diagonally placed cartouche.
