Description

About a dozen small carved stone heads on dark wooden stands and bases are arranged in three rows against a black background. They vary in size and show curled hair, headdresses and worn facial features, and the lowest head in the centre has a blue cross marked across its face. A measuring tape runs along the bottom edge for scale.
