Description

A close view of a pale, crumbly earth or rock surface inside the tomb, covered with diagonal and curved pick or chisel marks and a few cracks. Along the bottom edge stand several small pale tags on sticks, possibly number labels or markers, and the darker ground in the lower left suggests a floor or excavated soil.
