Description

Two rows of small standing figurines, each one about hand-sized, are set out on a dark ground. Most have long garments, small heads and arms held close to the body, and some wear close-fitting headdresses. Several figures show incised lines or marks on their clothing, and a few are broken or worn at the edges.
