Description

A rock-cut tomb chamber seen from inside, with rough, pitted rock walls and a ceiling curving overhead. A small dark hollow is cut into the back wall, and the floor is covered with loose stones and earth. Light enters from the left, leaving the left side bright and the rest of the chamber in shadow.
