Description

Several small terracotta figurines lie together on bare, dusty ground, partly in shadow. Among them are animal figures with thick legs and a figure with a raised arm, some standing on a flat stone slab. Dark earth, a stone, and a few other fragments lie in the background, with wooden stakes and a pipe-like object at the top of the frame.
