On the left two women and a man hold up the stone pillar tipping it up onto a larger pillar where a woman stands bent, pulling a rope around the bust pillar. A push-pull action goes on between these four people. In the center, three older bearded men gather around the right of a decorative round altar-like structure with two other smaller figures to the left, one plays an instrument between two pitchers. From the right a man walks in with an ox and axe, a woman carries a jug over the shoulder, two other men play horn instruments.
