Three more cattle-herdsmen (3-5) walk beside the remaining bulls. They have short curly hair and wear himatia. Figures (3) and (5) are depicted behind the second and third bulls, the latter bolting and being restrained with a rope (no doubt added in paint) by the herdsman (6) who is shown on block III.
