The pictorial field is framed on both sides by a border of incised concentric circles. A large fragment is missing from the lower third, and a smaller one near the mid-point. The stele may once have been topped by a three-dimensional head. A sheathed sword is incised across one side. It overlaps the vertical borders, as do three straps of a bandolier (?) that are rendered obliquely above the sword. Scattered within the picture-field are birds and animals in low relief. On the other side is a circular shield (?), which also encroaches into the vertical borders. Above is a row of figures in procession, while below is a mounted rider.
