Close view of a weathered grey stone wall carved with low relief figures, partly defaced and stained with white and red pigment. Two figures are carved side by side: the left one appears to be a seated or kneeling figure with hands together, and the right one a rounded, face-like carving with white paint marks. Red paint streaks run along the lower stone ledge below, and a carved stone corbel or projecting ornament sits at the upper left edge. No living people are visible.
