Description

Four small standing figures, apparently lacking their heads, stand in a row on white rectangular plinths, some with arms raised or hands held close to the body and some draped. At the right, a larger carved head with a heavy face and a rounded hairstyle sits on a plain block. The stone looks weathered and pitted, and the backdrop is a crumpled cloth.
