Description

Looking down into an excavated pit at the opening of a rock-cut tomb chamber. The chamber walls are pale and cut into the soil, with two round hollows in the upper wall and a large upright stone slab leaning at the left side of the opening. Loose stones and spoil lie around the cut, and a pale rectangular object sits at the right edge of the frame.
