Description

Several carved stone sculpture fragments lie together in soil and rubble, including a figure with an arm bent across its body and a separate head beside it. Other pieces, such as a large limb and a torso, lie around them, and a rough stone block fills the right edge. Two painted number labels are visible on the fragments.

Several broken stone sculpture fragments lie tightly packed in the excavated soil, including a torso with an arm bent across it, a long rounded fragment, and a leg-like piece. Two number labels are attached to pieces in the upper part of the frame. A rough rock face rises on the right, and loose stones and earth surround the fragments.
