Description

A heap of broken stone statue pieces lies in a corner of the excavation, with a rough rock face rising across the upper right. Among the fragments near the centre is a head wearing a close-fitting cap or headdress, with its face partly visible. Other fragments of limbs and drapery lie scattered over the ground in the foreground.

Description, scan 2: A heap of broken stone statues is packed against a rough rock face in the excavation. A head with a close-fitting cap or hair stands out in the centre, and fragments of other figures and stone blocks lie among them. The hazy, dim photograph makes the smaller pieces hard to pick out.
