A fragment of a limestone statue depicting two figures, missing upper portions.

The artifact is a limestone statue fragment showing two pairs of legs standing side by side. The left figure is wearing what appears to be a kilt with a finely detailed texture suggesting a specific garment or protective gear. The right figure appears to be wearing a simple, knee-length skirt. The upper portions of both figures are missing, making identification difficult.
