Description: | Two wooden uprights with carved heads on top, all covered in black pigment. Heads have prominent eyebrows, short stubby noses and projecting toothed ovoid mouths. Eyes lens-shaped with brass strip pupils one head has angled near-rectangular headdress with expanding ribbed circular cross-section hair coil behind. The other head has side arc flaps as headdress and smaller expanding hair coil back-centre of head. Uprights angled, with rectangular sideways piercements just below head join. It is assumed that both uprights are from same stool, broken off roughly at base.
