On one side a nude youth holding a shield decorated with a dot rosette, advances to the right, his right hand held low as though grasping a spear. To his right, a second youth seen in rear view retreats to the right, holding a shield decorated with a feline (panther?) and wearing a cloth of some sort from waist to just above knees. His right hand, too, is bent and held low. ; On the other side a nude youth, holding an undecorated shield and his right arm held high, advances to right, toward a second youth seen in three-quarter frontal view who is retreating right, holding a shield decorated with an animal, apparently a horse, possibly intended to be a panther.
