Description

Several broken carved stone fragments lie on sandy ground against a dark rock face in an excavated area. In the foreground a large block-like fragment and a head-like piece with a projecting element sit beside each other, while further left a head with a flat face and a cylindrical piece lie near a smaller fragment. Handwritten number labels are written on the stones, and the pieces look partly buried and broken.

Numbered labels are attached to several pieces, and handwritten initials appear on one of them.
