Description, scan 2
Viewed from above, an excavated area shows a headless draped stone figure standing on the left, its pleated garment clearly carved. Smaller fragments lie on the ground nearby, and a heap of large stone blocks and rubble fills the right side of the frame. The soil is dry and uneven, and strong shadows fall across the stones.
