Description

Six rows of small limestone figurines, reliefs and fragments stand on shelves against a dark background. Many are standing or seated human figures, some carved as flat slabs with figures in low relief, and a few appear to be animals. Large stone heads on pedestals stand at the right edge of the frame.
