The statue at the graveside had the same equipment as the deceased. Four statues like this would have stood around the mond covering the rich burial, only one has survived. The warrior is wearing a leaf crown and torque as well as armors, a short sword and a shield. It represented the deceased and might have served as a memorial or a prop in ancestor worship.
