Description

Many pale clay figurines, some with heads and arms broken off, lie crowded together in the ground. Among them are hollow tubular pieces and a rounded object, and a few whole figures stand out at the lower left and right. The view looks steeply down onto the find spot, with the cut edge of the excavation visible at the upper left.
