Description

A dark excavated recess is cut into pale earth, with several light stone blocks and fragments lying on ledges and on the floor of the cavity. Near the centre-left, a rounded, carved object that may be the head is partly covered by soil. A pale block with a fragment rests at lower left, and a dark cylindrical object sits at the right edge.
