Copy of a print of a bas-relief of a hunting scene

The six small circles around the three edges of the image are tacks, or drawing pins, to secure the etching or lithograph while it is being photographed.  The hunting scene is hard to decipher, but there are men with spears and hounds, hunting a larger animal.
