About the sculpture

These two fragments may have once belonged to the same object. The smaller fragment has two finished edges and two broken edges. The larger piece may have two straight edges, but the edges would not be in the same plane (they are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other). On the smaller piece there is a beaded border, molded edges, and an indistinct pattern in the center. The larger piece does not have molded edges. Some indications of stylized figures, including heads and torsos, may be identified, but it is very difficult to distinguish the decoration.
