Figure2853/2

Kneeling figure. The head is elongated and topped with a round headdress that has a deep bowl at its centre. Scratches in the bowl suggest it was used as a container in some form. Carved into the face are eyes and a mouth, a hole for a right ear, and at left, a large oval shape. Below the short neck is a narrow chest and two arms bent so that the hands rest on the stomach, where a hole has been bored. The left side of the figure shows a leg bent at the hip and knee, indicating the figure is kneeling. The right side beneath the arm is not clearly carved.

A rectangular fragment showing a carved falcon head. The fragment does not appear to have any finished sides and is therefore not a corner or other identifiable architectural piece. Details of the bird still exist, such as the tear duct and defined beak.

Nopiori Figure2815/13

Stone carving of two separate figures that join into a common being below the chest. The left figure is slightly larger, with an elongated head and relatively well defined features carved into the face. Two arms start at the rear of the figure below the neck and wrap around both sides to the front. The smaller figure to the right also has a slightly elongated head. Much of the face has been obliterated, with the mouth and right eye remaining, as well as two ears that are carved into the sides of the head. This figure also has arms beginning at the back below the head and wrapping around to the front on both sides. The figures sit on a thick oval base carved out of the same piece of stone.

Figure2827/9

A black sculptural fragment of a female torso. The torso is intact but the head, lower portion of the legs, forearms, and hands have broken off. It is evident that something was also attached to the top of the figure, suggesting that this object may have been a cosmetic spoon, or the handle of a vessel of some sort. Both sides of the figure have been carved, and incised lines have been used to delineate legs and various body parts.
