A modelled clay object lies in loose, stony soil, with a flat round disc on top and a conical projection above it. Several animal forms, some with legs visible and others broken or worn, are modelled around its lower sides. A white box sits in the background at upper right, and the object casts a shadow to the right.

Description, scan 2: A group of small modelled figures sits on a rounded base on loose, dry excavated soil. Several upright forms and a disc-like element at the centre crowd together, and the surface looks worn. A white box stands at the top of the frame, and a long shadow falls across the ground to the right.
