Description This piece preserves parts of the first and second seated figures and of the standing figure to their right. Some details shown here do not appear on 19660281 or 19660282. Of the first seated figure, only the knees and forearms are preserved. One hand rests on the knees and holds a staff whose upper end is missing; the other hand is raised. Of the second seated figure, the shoulders and part of the head (see 19660131), most of the lower body and the top of the stool can be seen. The standing figure is preserved from the lower part of the elbow and extended to the right as if to hold something (see 19660130); the hand is missing. The waist seems to be bound by a wide girdle suggested by several horizontal ridges. See 19660128 for possible details of upper parts of a second seated figure and of the standing figure.
Fabric Description Coarse clay with bits of stone and mica, fired reddish brown on exterior.
