Family portrait of Varhran II. The king wears a crown with wings and a globe. The Queen wears a kulah with the animal head (boar-crown?); the heir wears a kulah crowend by the head of a bird (eagle-crown?).
Along the sides of the atasdan are two figures facing the altar. The attendant on the right is a figure of Anahita in a kulah crowend by the head of a bird or winged crown, with the "wreath of power" in his hand. The figure on the left wears the crown of Varhran II and raises his hand (laurel wreath).
Bull-symbol over the flames.
