Description

Broken figurines and sculptural fragments lie scattered across the floor of an excavated trench, with a large head with an elongated muzzle in the foreground. A cylindrical fragment and smaller broken pieces lie among them, and a seated person in light clothing is partly visible at the top left edge. The dark trench walls rise behind the finds.
