    Not to mention these are being carved from a single piece of stone. So making them appear as if they’re hanging down along their sides/sticking out from their bodies would require a lot more work. The simplest explanations are always the most likely.

      Exactly!

      It makes me wonder how drab people’s childhoods were that they never tried to make figures out of whatever and realize that arms and hands are hard as hell. And carving? Does nobody let kids carve things?

        My parents didn’t let me carve stones, no. I think that’s mostly because I didn’t yearn for the mines like most children.
