Detail of Hanni, who occupies almost the entire height of the relief panel. His head and feet are shown in profile oriented to the right, while his chest, arms and hands clasped at the waist are depicted frontally. He has a long braid that extends down over the right shoulder and along the arm, ending in a knob just below the elbow, and wears a heavily fringed highland-style garment decorated with rosettes. Behind him stand the smaller figures of a weapon bearer and a court official in a long, flounced garment making a clasped-hands gesture.
