Description

Clay figures lie crowded together in the soil of an excavation, still where they were found. Many are human figures with conical or rounded headdresses, some with arms held against the body, and several are broken or partly buried. A tall cylindrical piece stands at the right, and the bare earth around is strewn with stones, with a cut soil face at the top right.
