Description

Inside a tomb chamber during excavation, pale rough rock fills the centre, with diagonal tool marks along its face and dark recesses cut into it. The foreground is a loose, sandy floor scattered with small stones, and the surrounding walls fall into deep shadow. The print has a white border and a number label along the bottom edge.
