Notes on support and decorationsSquared limestone stela, roughly carved. In the rectangular field two human figures, separated by a vertical element, are represented; the right figure holds a stick, the left one an undefined large object, curved at the extremities. We cannot say exactly whether the figures hold weapons or other objects.
