stone, polished, coated with mass/ colour,
At first glance, the expressive physiognomy of the figure captivates the viewer, especially the big teeth-revealing mouth as well as the tangle of fingers and objects below. The proportions are also striking, the extremely elongated lower legs, which end in oversized disc-shaped feet.
Nothing is known about these extremely bizarre stone figures so far. It is assumed that they were placed on graves in memory of important persons.
