Description

Roughly seventeen small pale figurines stand on a dark ground, arranged in two uneven rows. Most are upright figures with arms held across the body and simple drapery, with a few taller, more elaborate figures with headdresses in the centre. Some figures sit on dark bases, and the photograph is set within a cream album page.
