The eastern panel is structurally divided into three parts: the bottom is occupied by a row of four individuals represented in profile and oriented to the left; above them is a group of three zebus and eighteen round-horned sheep. All animals are oriented to the right. The zebus have a curved back, humped shoulders, a pair of frontally represented, small, straight horns, a single ear just below the right horn, a pointy muzzle, a bulging chest, four individually depicted legs, male genitalia, and a long tail hanging between the rear legs almost to the ground. The round-horned, long-tailed, sheep are organized in six rows of three. They have a pointed muzzle, frontally depicted round horns, thin legs and a tail.
