Limestone relief divided into two registers with scenes depicting the process of winemaking. The upper register shows a man carrying sacks of grape pomace to be wrung out, following the grape-treading in large vats. The second man wearing a wig and a long, pleated dress is overseeing the procedure.
In the lower register, two winemakers are depicted completing the wine-ma- king process by pouring the wine into large storage jars like those positioned above the man on the left.
