A mace with a head made from fayence probably came to Troy from Egypt. Inside the main room a ritual vessel was suspended from a roof beam. Little figurines sit on its rim with their arms raised as if they are praying. Similar figurines have been found elsewhere at Troy, but only now it has become clear that they were part of vessels.
