This relief fragment probably belonged to a larger funerary relief. Two figures are depicted: a woman wearing a himation with her hair tied back, accompanied by a child (Attis) wearing a Phrygian cap on her head.

The woman depicted is the goddess Cybele, considered to be the Mother Goddess and riding in a chariot drawn by lions, part of which is possibly depicted on the missing fragment. Cybele had a son named Atis, whom she abandoned but when she met him she fell in love with him.
