Catalogue Note
Les scènes rappellent deux épisodes de la vie d'Alexandre le Grand, probablement la soumission du roi des Indes Porus après la bataille de la rivière Hydaspe et la chasse du lion de Macédoine, cette dernière scène figurant sur le sarcophage dit d'Alexandre aujourd'hui au musée d'Istamboul.
