Image description

This bas-relief shows a woman carrying a box on her head whilst a man bows in supplication to another, larger woman. The story represented is that of a pregnant woman who gave birth with the help of a midwife, but then failed to show sufficient respect to the latter. As a punishment, the midwife has condemned her to carry the afterbirth in a box on her head for the rest of her life. The man is begging the midwife to forgive his wife.
