DescriptionWooden panel that was part of a four-panel door. The painting has a background of water in green tones. There is the figure of a nude woman, her torso visible above the water, her left arm resting on the head of a mythological sea animal (the one that was just barely seen in 1974.71.2). Her other arm is outstretched over her head. There is a suggestion of the front part of another sea animal beside the head of the one the woman is leaning on.
