Inset into the peak of a roof are at least eight statues made of white stone. The center statue is of a man sitting on a rock, extending his hand to his right, the viewer’s left. To his right there is a man standing holding out a bowl. The man is dressed in a tunic and robe and has short hair. Behind him there is a smaller, less dressed man also holding a bowl. Behind the smaller man there is another smaller man that is dragging a bag full of something. On the end, at the edge of the peak there is someone lying down. To the viewer’s right of center statue there are three people dressed in simple clothing using a large utensil that looks like a pen to create something. All three of the statues are involved in this one process - two are holding the utensil and the third is using a sword on the opposite end to do something.
