It is a narrative divided into nine scenes." (1) An armed hero, mounted in a car driven by a charioteer, quits in the morning a castle or fortified town.
He is going to hunt, and carries his bow in his left hand.

Over his head is an umbrella, the badge of his high rank, and his defence against the mid-day sun.

A quiver hangs at the side of his chariot.

He wears a conical cap, while the driver has his head bare, and leans forwards over the front of the car, seeming to shake the reins, and encourage the horses to mend their pace.

(2) After the car has proceeded a certain distance, the hunter espies a stag upon a rocky hill.
