Description

A small figurine of a seated or crouching human form lies in the soil between large rough-hewn stone blocks, with a thin stick or rod lying diagonally beside it. A large block dominates the centre, and a pair of legs in trousers appears at the upper left edge of the frame. Behind, a wooden crate or tray sits on the excavated ground, and the scene is shown in bright sunlight with strong shadows.
