A fourth framed photo shows a dark bronze figure of a deity playing a flute beside a cow or bull on a pedestal. Above them hang a wrought-iron wall ornament and a small framed clock. A cloth-clad arm is visible at the left edge and a few small brass figures appear at the bottom. No people are in focus in the scene, and no one is identified.
