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 the 11th century

Materials: Created from bone

Craftsmanship Technique: Crafted through carving and relief work

Description: This is one of two sides of a box originally constructed with bone plates, which were originally covered with wood. The depicted scene showcases a hunting theme. On the left side, there is a depiction of a barefoot hunter holding a spear, accompanied by a dog, approaching a large hare that is nibbling on a bush near a tree. In the center, another similar hunter is shown firing a bow at a deer, which is under attack by two dogs. On the right side, there is a depiction of a leopard and a wolf engaged in combat.

The box also features three separate border panels along with two additional pieces of paneling and a fragment of the box, each contributing to the overall composition.
