Unfinished Human

This looks to this observer like an unfinished relief of a human—in basalt.

Notice the legs and the feet, the knee-length garment, but I am not able to discern what the upper-portion of the piece is.

The Archaeological Park of Yesemek covers an area of approximately 25 acres. It the largest known stonemasonry workshop in the ancient Near East. Over 300 partially finished blocks are scattered over the site today, an archaeological park.
