A revolver and Texas Map can be found in one of the four corners!
And some explanations about the stone relief. The relief contains the AMD Athlon K7 Series from:
Argon -> Pluto -> Thunderbird -> Palomino -> Thoroughbred -> Barton

Fritzchens Fritz is a person who has published many close-up images of CPUs that have been split into shells. Below is a close-up image of Athlon K75 Pluto released by Fritzchens Fritz in 2016. It seems that the newly discovered illustration was also discovered while taking close-up images of Athlon K75 Pluto.

The illustration in question was drawn on the metal layer of Athlon K75 Pluto.
If you look closely at the bottom left of the image above, you can see that there is a white pattern.
Below is a photo taken close to the white pattern. You can see that it is not just a stain, but that the state of Texas and a revolver gun are clearly drawn artificially on it.
Fritzchens Fritz is not the first to discover the gun hidden in the Athlon K75 Pluto and the tiny illustration of Texas, and the same illustration was a hot topic around 2011. In addition to Athlon K75 Pluto, there are many ``chips with hidden tiny illustrations'', and you can check multiple tiny illustrations on the following page published by Chipworks (currently TechInsights).
