Old Fossils, Can You Stop Being So Eye-Searing?

In the open space surrounded by bone walls, four people—four humanoid creatures—stood side by side.

On the left stood a man and a woman. The woman wore a golden pannier gown characteristic of the Baroque era, her waist cinched down to what could not have been more than a foot and a half.
