Description

Several pale figures, some with headdresses and raised arms, stand among scattered long bones and broken pottery in an excavated pit. A tall figure with a shaped upper body rises on the right beside a fragmentary vessel, and loose bones lie across the ground in the foreground. The excavated earth behind is dark and layered.
