Description

Broken pale sculpture fragments lie scattered on bare excavated ground, photographed from above. Several sections are visible: a rounded head with a face at lower left, a torso-like piece near the top centre, long limbs or drapery folds stretching across the middle, and a cylindrical piece at upper left. Cracks and missing edges show on many pieces, and the surrounding soil is dusty and disturbed.
