A group of four individuals, a vessel-bearer and three musicians are depicted in front of the large-scale ruler on the north face of the relief. The first individual holds a small globular vessel in their left hand above their head. The right hand is at waist level and appears to hold another vessel which is larger, but also globular in shape. The musical ensemble following behind is composed of a trio of musicians who each play an angular harp on the left side of the body. All three harpists wear a short garment and have their hair gathered into a bun at the back of the neck.
