Fragment of a Frieze Depicting a Battle Scene, Amazonomachy-? [ I.]

• 'Golden Oldie': Just stumbled across, recently, and took some time to slightly alter these photos of mine taken back in 2018 in Moscow, Russia [clearing noisy pockmarked museum backgrounds, mostly], alors voilà:
.
• "Fragment of a Frieze Depicting a Battle Scene, Amazonomachy-?" I.
From the Taman Peninsula, Yubileynoye-1 settlement near Temryuk, Krasnodar Region, Russia.
Bosporan, 2nd-half of the 4th BC.
Limestone.
[Excavations 1983-1990, Restored]

Curious, obviously unverifiable assumptions around this relief:
.
• Some Russian-language studies [art historian Valery Klenov and subsequent essays] suggest the left corner figure represents Tirgatao, Maeotian warrior princess [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirgatao].
.
• In which case the upside-down heads strapped to the saddle of a horse may belong to Metrodorus, the son of Bosporan king Satyros I. and possibly Sindian king Hekataios, Tirgatao's ex-husband [both defeated and, said, killed by Tirgatao].
.
• The Pushkin State Museum refers to the scene as to 'Amazonomachy', generally, not identifying the battle participants.
