This model, which is mounted on a thin board, depicts an agricultural scene. The group is composed of two men and two cows. One of the men is leading the animals and the other is using a plough. The cows are painted white, decorated with black specks. It is certain that the model must be considered an offering placed in the grave of the deceased.
