Description

A large broken vessel with a curved wall lies on its side on the earthen floor of a rock-cut tomb chamber, its interior partly filled with soil and fragments. A rounded, cracked object sits at the left end beside it. The rough, tool-marked rock walls rise along the right side and back of the chamber.
