Description

A field photograph taken from above shows a group of small terracotta figurines and carts lying in sandy, excavated ground. Several carts have disc-shaped wheels, and some figures stand upright on them, with a few tall, pointed shapes among them. Cardboard boxes sit at the top of the frame, and a rock or earth face runs along the left edge.
