Created by Adela Breton in the late 19th century, this artwork is now housed in the prestigious Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The intricate details of this bas relief are brought to life through Breton's skilled drawing technique. The central figure, adorned with a serpent and feather headdress, exudes an aura of power and mystique. Elaborate decorations surround him both behind and before, while an animal-headed belt, breastplate, and strap decoration add to his regal appearance. A small yet intriguing addition to this composition is a grotesque figure lurking in the background. This enigmatic presence adds an element of mystery to an already fascinating scene.
