Description

Stone statue fragments lie scattered on a dusty excavated surface, photographed from above. Several heads of different sizes sit among broken pieces, some with worn faces, and a pillar-like piece with vertical folds stands upright near the top left. Dark shadows and loose soil surround the fragments, and the ground at the right edge drops into a cut.

Description, scan 2: Many broken statue fragments lie scattered across a dug surface of packed earth. Among them are several heads of varying sizes, a draped body section, limbs and a large cylindrical piece, some partly buried in soil. Strong shadows fall across the pale stone pieces against the dark ground.
