Wooden panel carved in mid-relief. Depicts a humanoid figure with arms raised, hands held in fists, and a exaggerated tongue hanging from their mouth. Short horns extend up from their head, and large wings spread out to each side. The legs are each snake-like, and each twist in a loop before ending at a reptilian foot.
