Description
Two square pillars carved from the rock support a heavy horizontal lintel across the front of a tomb. Behind them, dark doorways lead into the interior, with a shadowy side wall visible at right. The ground in the foreground is bare earth with scattered stones and patches of grass, and the sky is pale at the top of the frame.
English
A rock-cut tomb entrance at the Tombs of the Kings near Paphos, with a rock-cut roof lintel resting on two square pillars. The dark chamber opens behind them onto a bare, dusty ground surface with scattered stones.
