Group of twenty-six anthropomorphic votive figurines, mold made from sheet bronze. Three types are represented: standing nude male worshippers (invs. .1, .2, .3, .5, .6, .7, .9, .10, .11, .12, .14, .18, .19, .20, .24, .25, .26), female worshippers (invs .4, .8, .15, .16, .17), and warriors wearing a helmet (invs. .13, .21, .22, .23). The figures are schematic, with rudimentary facial features; circular impressions for nipples and navels (males), and grooves at the end of the arms to indicate hands.
