The Neo-Punic artifact depicts an intricately carved scene of profound significance. At its center stands the deceased man, surrounded by loyal attendants and an altar, symbolizing his transition into the afterlife. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail of this stone masterpiece. Vibrant colors bring life to the ancient carving, highlighting its cultural richness and artistic finesse.
