Description

The excavated floor of a tomb chamber is seen from above, with a row of pottery vessels set along the edge of the cut: a small jug on the left, a broken bowl, a large round vessel with handles, and a jug with a tall neck and loop handle on the right. Several long bones lie on the soil at lower left, and a small round light object, possibly a label, sits at lower right.
