Original text on this topic:
Pl. XIX fig. 46 A stone of jaspis in the collectin in Berlin. A rhinoceros is herded by a man with a whip. It directs its horn towards a small dog. It is not clear what is shown above the dog, maybe a second dog thrown into the air. The rhinoceros depiction is not bad, but remarkably small in comparison with the whip. Formerly in the collection of Baron Stosch.
