Description

Two men kneel in an excavation trench against a dark earth face, uncovering stone statues. The man on the left wears a flat cap and light shirt and holds a small pale object near the figures; the man on the right wears a pith helmet and works with a thin tool beside a stiff brush on the ground. A standing stone figure stands in the middle, with upright stone slabs behind it and a heap of loose soil in the foreground.

Description, scan 2
Two men kneel in a trench cut into a rough earth face. The man on the left, in a cap and light shirt, leans over an upright stone figure with its head visible, while the man on the right, in a pale sun hat and white shirt, bends low beside a brush and a small tool on the sandy ground. A larger stone block stands behind the figure, and a heap of loose soil lies in the foreground.
