Description

Bronze plaque. The group of figures in low relief are represented as moving towards the left. The figures in the centre are in higher relief, especially the figure of a man holding a child's hand in his left hand and carrying another child in his right arm. On the right is another group led by a man carrying the front end of a stretcher. The figures are all naked and the style avoids clear outlines.
