The recovered pottery shards were reconstructed largely at the University of Cape Town, and assembled into two large heads and five smaller heads.
 One of the larger heads constitute an incomplete specimen.
The reconstructed heads provide a glimpse into the craftsmen's skill and preciseness of artistry, even though they may not look exactly how they looked 1500 years ago.
Six of the heads share human characteristics, while a single head has animal-like features.
The presence of linear patterned neck rings are postulated to represent a marker of prosperity or wealth, due to their symbolic use throughout time.
Of the seven, only two are large enough to have been worn, but the size is not the only observable variation between them.
The two aforementioned heads constitute the only specimens with small animal figurines, perceived to be lions, mounted on top of them.
The other five are more similar in size and appearance, with one exception.
This head is the only head that seems to resemble something other than a human.
It has a long snout instead of regular protruding lips and also has no ears.
Documentation of associated artefacts was limited due to the primary significance of the heads; however, we do know that the associated pottery sherds were identified as terracotta.

These heads are speculated to have been covered in white slip, and glittering specularite at the time of their use.
 The smaller heads, #3–7 have small perforations on their sides.
  These perforations may have been some sort of framework to be worn as a headdress, or some part of a significant structure.
