Description

Several clay figurines lie in sandy soil against a dark earth face, with stone blocks visible at the top of the frame. The tall figure in the centre has a conical headdress, a long body and a crack across its torso. To the right a figure with a rounded head stands beside a smaller figure, and limbs and fragments lie in the lower centre.
