Narrow Belt With Banquet Scene. Two fragments belonging to the middle and the right end of a belt. A band of sprouts, interconnected with bow-shaped lines and bordered by a line of interlocking small loops runs along the outer border of the fragment. In the panel on the middle fragment, a female figure wearing a headscarf is sitting on a throne with a backrest and lion feet. In front of this, there is a table with food, which also has lion feet. There is a crescent- shaped bread loaf on the table. A male figure with a helmet and a sword at his waist is standing in front of the seated female figure. The male figure is extending his left hand on the table and holding a cup in his right hand, which he lifts up. A female figure holding a cauldron in each hand is behind the male figure. Another female figure facing backward is behind the previous figure. A female figure holding a cauldron in her right hand and lifting a fan-like object in her left hand is behind the woman sitting on throne.
