Description

A rock-cut tomb chamber lies open in excavated ground strewn with loose stones and rubble. The dark interior is partly visible beneath a large stone block at the top edge of the cut, and a squared stone block sits at the right. Spoil and small stones fill the foreground, with a thin wooden stick at the upper left.
