Description

Close view of the inside of a tomb chamber during excavation, with a rough, pale surface filling most of the frame. Dark shadowy recesses appear at the left edge and in a hollow on the right, and the surface shows small cracks and pitting. Individual stones are hard to pick out against the uneven surface.
