In front of the horses, left, facing the charioteer, a warrior in full armor: greaves, shield, and high crested helmet. The shield, which conceals his upper body, has a white center. At the left of the panel, facing left, is a bearded archer in a short tunic, holding bow and quiver, and wearing the high-pointed "Scythian" cap.
