Description

Many pale figures, some with tall headdresses and others smaller, stand and lie among jars and other vessels in a dark excavation pit. Pale excavated earth forms the sloping sides of the trench at left and right. A round disc-shaped object lies in the middle foreground among the figures, and a cluster of small fragments is visible at lower left.
