This relief appears to depict the lead up to a bull sacrifice. There is a veiled figure at the altar with an attendant nearby, while another person leads the bull towards the final moment.
Unusually a building in the background appears to be very lop-sided giving the scene a more quirky vibe than you might otherwise expect. If you know more details about this artefact, we’d love to know more. It is apparently held by the Antiques Museum in the Royal Palace, Stockholm.
