- This is a well-preserved cast of a section of East III, a damaged and weathered original, showing five heavily draped women processing towards the viewer's right. The torsos, heads, and faces of the women are all severely battered (in the original). Figs. 11-14 are shown in profile with their upper bodies turned slightly towards the viewer, while fig. 15 is turned to face front. Fig. 11 carries an oinochoe in her lowered right hand. Figs 12-15 carry difficult-to-discern trumpet-shaped objects.
