They have large rectangular torsos, some of which are patterned, that appear to represent a decorated rectangular robe, as well as relatively broad raised arms that convey reverence. Some of these figures are headless. Intriguingly, geometric shapes resembling Greek frets appear to emerge from the upper part of the body, which could represent language.
