Description

A deep, rectangular shaft cut into pale soil descends into darkness, with a small dark opening visible in its far wall. Stone blocks lie along the near edge, and at the upper right a person in a pale hat and light clothing kneels beside the cut. Behind them are wicker baskets, a white tent and wooden poles, and a low stone wall appears at the upper left.
