Description

A view into a rock-cut tomb chamber with pale, crumbling walls marked by cracks and dark stains. A large block of stone stands at the right edge, and a dark opening lies at the base of the wall above the sandy floor in the foreground. The rock surface looks rough and eroded, with pitted patches on the right-hand block.
