caption: The image shows a set of three carved ivory plaques depicting a scene from the Roman Empire. The plaques are intricately carved with a variety of figures, including a man in a suit and a woman in a dress, both of whom appear to be engaged in a conversation. The man is seated in a chair, while the woman is standing in front of him, her hands clasped together in a gesture of prayer. The background of the plaques is a deep blue, with a few stars twinkling in the night sky.
