This weathered relief, approximately contemporary with reliefs II and VI was carved on the vertical cliff face near relief IV. It shows four worshipers arranged vertically behind a large-scale ruler with a beard, a roll of hair(?) above the forehead, a braid, and a long, fringed garment. He stands with his hands closed in a fist in front of his face, his index fingers extended toward a butcher (probably naked) butchering a zebu next to six sheep carcasses. Below the sheep is a flaming fire-stand.
