Panel, casket

Certainly, here's a rephrased version of the text you provided:

Cultural and Temporal Context: Originating in the Middle Byzantine period, dating from the 10th to 11th centuries

Materials: Crafted from bone

Craftsmanship Technique: Created through carving and relief work

Description: This artifact represents one of the two sides of a box originally covered with bone plates, which were later overlaid with wood. The carved scene depicts a hunting scenario. On the left side, there is a depiction of a nude hunter holding a spear, accompanied by a dog. They approach a large hare that is nibbling on a bush near a tree. In the center, another similar hunter is shown, drawing a bow to shoot at a deer that is being attacked by two dogs. On the right side of the scene, there is a confrontation between a leopard and a wolf.

The artifact also includes three border panels, which are now separate, along with two additional pieces of paneling and a fragment of the original box.
