Orthostat with an Antelope Relief

The basalt orthostat is about 81 cm in height, 79 cm in width, and dates to the 9th century BCE. It was found in 1879 around the Great Staircase area during the excavations of Patrick Henderson. Subsequently, it was transferred to England, and today it is in the British Museum.
