Description

A trench is filled with many small pale figurines, some upright and some fallen, mixed with vessels, tall cylindrical objects and broken pieces lying in the soil. Large stone blocks stand among them, and the trench walls are cut in layers of earth. A person in light clothing stands at the top right edge, partly out of frame.
