The design originally consisted of a Tree of Life flanked by paired ibexes being pursued by a royal hunter. The latter, mounted on a fantastic creature, wears a Sasanian crown and holds a long spear. The fragment preserves most of the design to the right of the central tree, but only half of an ibex to the left of the tree.
